An absolutely stunning — and scary – wake-up call that reveals how the economic world is about to change dramatically in the next few years as dozens of RDEs (“Rapidly Developing Economies”) begin to assert themselves as major economic powers.

Globalization is about Americans outsourcing product development and services to other countries. Globality is the next step, where rapidly developing economies from around the world are now competing with us head to head. The authors present a strong case that the economic climate in which we have lived is going to change in unprecedented ways.
