World Economies in 2028

It's important to remember amongst the beancounting and growth projections that Mexico and Brazil are culturally disinclined to success and as inferior nations will stumble and collapse where their betters might show initiative, or even mere stability.

Mexico from what?! What's the industry producing so much income for them?!

Despite the Drug War, they are currently ranked 14th in nominal GDP, and 9th in GDP PPP!

As long as GDP includes the G, yes.

For India to roughly quadruple during that time period, they would have to grow at an annual pace of 9.5% or so. They are nowhere near that growth.

I think the report in question did not adjust the figures for inflation, which is why the figures for 2028 look so high.

UK growth of over 3% uninterrupted for 15 years sounds really unlikely, no matter how many immigrants arrive.

And when you consider that they'll most likely not grow at the necessary 3.3% in the next two or three years, they'll have to grow even faster later.

Guys, it gets worse.  In 2113, China's economy would be 45 times as large as US economy.

That makes things a bit more sensible.
It just seems bizzare Japan would suddenly grow so much.

Used hotpants. Jesus Christ.

India seems totally unrealistic.  15 years is a long, long time to keep up that bullish a rate.

Economists can't predict accurately what will happen in the next 15 months, let alone 15 years. You might as well read tea leaves to predict the outcome.

I'm skeptical.
