Emerging Market Century

I had a chance to attend a Lunch meeting by CFA Society of Washington DC. The title of the topic had caught my attention - The Emerging Market Century. The speaker was Antoine van Agtmael. It was also an introduction to his book to be published in Jan 07. What I didn't know was that Mr.Agtmael had coined the term Emerging Markets to describe the Third World. It was an interesting talk. He took World is Flat to the next level. The talk also touched upon the resource crunch we are going to face not only in oil but also water and other natural resources.
I pre-ordered the book in Amazon and received it today. I am eagerly looking forward to reading it soon.
