Basically, the world is changing and West's reluctant to change will cause problems for the new world. West is increasingly becoming part of the problem vs. the solution. The video is very interesting.

From year 1 to year 1820, Asia had the largest economies in the world. West has been dominate last 200 years. In the next few years, Asia is slowly returning to its former place. By 2050, the size of all economies is projected as following:

1. China
2. India
3. USA
4. Japan

India's growth is always overpredicted. They assumed they'd have 10% growth by now but that has never materialized.
