      By the middle of  this century,some two thirds of  the world's nations, with at least five billion people ,will enjoy a standard of  living which only the advanced economies now have. Some three billion of these people will live in Asia. Collectively, the Asian countries will have a larger economy than the rest of the world put together.

      The rest of the world will have to react to this millennial economic shift to Asia, and to the rising  power of  China.The rest of  the world  will  be divided between the Euro-American countries, and the two big peripheral powers, Japan and Russia. Russia is a huge geographical country, with well educated people, and will eventually recover.

    In term of nations, it will be a world of much greater economic equality. Although there will still be poor countries, most will be quite rich. Inside these nations there will be mass prosperity, but with a large minority in serious poverty, and a small number who are very rich.
