<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The new "breakout nations" will probably spring from the margins, even from the shadows. Sharma, one of the world's largest investors in emerging markets for Morgan Stanley, identifies which are most likely to leap ahead and why.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>To identify the economic stars of the future we should abandon the habit of extrapolating from the recent past and lumping wildly diverse countries together. We need to remember that sustained economic success is a rare phenomenon. After years of rapid growth, the most celebrated emerging markets--Brazil, Russia, India, and China--are about to slow down. Which countries will rise to challenge them? In his best-selling book, writer and investor Ruchir Sharma identifies which countries are most likely to leap ahead and why, drawing insights from time spent on the ground and detailed demographic, political, and economic analysis.<br /><br /> With a new chapter on America's future economic prospects, Breakout Nations offers a captivating picture of the shifting balance of global economic power among emerging nations and the West.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>... it s refreshing to read Breakout Nations, Ruchir Sharma s book on the Bric countries Brazil, Russia, India, China and the rest of the developing world... [H]is book offers a careful view that has little truck with forecasts of the relentless Bric-led rise of the emerging world. "<br><br>A book that combines keen on-the-ground reporting and economic and investment analysis with lively, lucid prose. "<br><br>A primer to guide us... this is a great road-map to the new and better-balanced world in which we will all live, and an encouraging one. "<br><br>At the core of this impressive book is the counter-intuitive argument that the boom of the mid-2000s was a blip in the long historical trend for emerging economies and that the next decade may be one of decelerating. In Sharma s view, the much-hyped decline of the West and emergence of the rest may take a lot longer than optimists would like to believe. "<br><br>Breakout Nations is basically an investors lonely planet guide to the world for the new century. "<br><br>It is really the focus of economic attention around the world. It is a whole new look at which economies are going to be winners and which are going to be losers. --Prannoy Roy, NDTV"<br><br>Mr. Sharma s intent is to help you find the best places around the world to invest, emphasizing that it will take some work on your part. "<br><br>There is no better book for country-by-country accounts of emerging markets (and riskier ones called frontier markets). Its strong point is the author s reliance on grassroots experience in each country, avoiding statistical charts. "<br><br>This is among the best books to understand the emerging world and its positive and negative aspects. Sharma matches the brilliance of Thomas L Friedman, author of the widely cited The World is Flat. "<br><br>... it's refreshing to read Breakout Nations, Ruchir Sharma's book on the Bric countries--Brazil, Russia, India, China--and the rest of the developing world... [H]is book offers a careful view that has little truck with forecasts of the relentless Bric-led rise of the emerging world.<br><br>Breakout Nations works best as a compilation of highly illuminating country vignettes--similar, say, to Michael Lewis' Boomerang... As with Mr. Lewis' work on the European crisis, for sheer readability and insight on the various parts of the ongoing developing world drama, I dare say you won't find a better choice. --Jonathan Anderson<br><br>In Breakout Nations, he takes us on a fascinating gallop through the countries at the edges of the developed world. Not only does he challenge the accepted wisdom--that China and India will motor on, ad infinitum--but he comes up with some surprising candidates for the next decade's economic stars.<br><br>Mr. Sharma's intent is to help you find the best places around the world to invest, emphasizing that it will take some work on your part.<br><br>The head of Morgan Stanley's emerging markets division conducts a brisk worldwide tour in search of new markets ready for takeoff. No first-book jitters for Sharma, longtime columnist for the likes of Newsweek and the Wall Street Journal. His smooth, almost chummy style suits him ideally for guiding civilians through the sometimes-arcane thicket of the dismal science, looking for those emerging markets likely to disappoint or exceed expectations in the coming years... Confining his predictions to the near future, Sharma refreshingly comes across as that rare thing Harry Truman once sought: a 'one-handed economist' willing to stake his reputation without resort to "on the other hand" equivocation. For investors looking to place their bets and for general readers looking to understand the global economic landscape in the wake of the Great Recession.<br><br>The head of Morgan Stanley s emerging markets division conducts a brisk worldwide tour in search of new markets ready for takeoff.
