"prosperity index" -- india doing better than china?

oct 27th, 2009

even a faux democracy like india does better than a full-fledged totalitarian regime like han china? maybe.

well, the gini coefficient does suggest a similar conclusion.

kotkin more or less accurately forecast the rise of china, and is bullish on india. i interviewed him years ago when he wrote the book 'tribes'. nice quote: "engineering is the oil of the 21st century."
