Man, I hope my income isn't the same in 2021 as today.

No kidding

The idea of two lost decades for the USA is pretty sobering.

So what's the global outlook then? The US and EU looking at lost decades, China cruising towards a big bursting bubble. How's India and Brazil these days? What are the bright spots?

A silver lining, eh?  When the human population finally stabilizes at a little over a billion, there'll be more room for everybody.

My income better be increased by 2012 when they are supposed to start paying my new salary!

South Korea is doing well.
Hmm, maybe I should be going back there instead of Shanghai...

Medium term the BRICs, SEA and Turkey look good. So do some of the more mature markets such as Korea, Australia, Canada and Scandinavia.

Sweden is doing great.

China's the big question for Canada (and Australia).  Economy's been driven by commodities.  A large Chinese crash could have a devastating effect on commodity prices.  Come to think of it - same issue for Russia as well.

Brazil / India seem to have fairly diverse economies, should continue to do well, as does Turkey.

I wonder if he'll be surprised when nobody knows or cares who the fuck he is?

I think he is one of the great heroes of the 20th century, but unfortunately you are right on this. Nonviolent leaders like Gandhi, Mandela, and King get all the press for peacefully fighting imperialism and racism, but anticommunism is ignored.

I've never heard of that dude.  Cool name, though.

Oh, he's the Solidarnosc guy.

Maybe he should have been on the right side of history.

I guess it is okay, you are just too young.
