I like Karl Fisch's stuff, but I'm always a bit puzzled by those stats. My reaction tends to be a bit, "So there are lots of people in China and India. So what?" I don't know if the scaremongering is intentional, but I don't find it helpful. I reckon it's quite North America-centric, although that's probably (also) unintentional. Perhaps the balance of power is going to shift, I don't know. And if it is, I can't help thinking that it would be more helpful to prepare for "life after superpower status" than to try desperately to hold onto it. Mind you - I am not and never have been the native of a superpower, so it's easy for me to say - perhaps I have a different mindset.
