John Naisbitt's "Mind Set"


I just read John Naisbitt's book "Mind Set"

Some takaways:
- He sees China as the real deal - a balanced long-term growth economy with lots going for it.
- India is no China - not even close. India does not have the economic breadth of China. (Right now India is all IT and not much else).
- He see's Europe as economically on the long slide down by refusing reforms to ease the socialist strains on it's economy.
- Despite many concerns, he sees the United States as a dominant world player throughout most of the current century.
- Aside: An interesting observation: consider the transition to the visual world and business implications. He sees books and newpapers in decline to be subsummed by video and visual presentation.
