Riding the Asian Super Cycle outlines the economic transformation currently working westwards from China’s Eastern shores across Asia and ultimately into India and Africa. The positive economic impact on Australia of this transformation will last for generations to come and rewrite global wealth distribution. This book represents the distilled wisdom of seven people who have all been deeply engaged in the economic emergence of Asia. They all approach the subject from different backgrounds but they reach a surprising degree of consensus on one point: Asia is in the early stages of an economic transformation which rolling westward across China, but will roll progressively through South East Asia and India and, in the view of one participant, onward down through Africa. It will create a growth surge that will last perhaps a century and transform the global economic balance. It is an exciting prospect, but certainly not a naive one. Five of the contributors are well known CEOs with decades of business experience: All have witnessed their full share of booms and busts and long ago learned to separate wishful thinking from investment decisions. Of the non-CEO participants, one is a former World Bank official, another a seasoned diplomat turned commercial advisor.
