A compelling eye-opening account of how Asia is creating a new template for the future of the world from Parag Khanna a renowned globalization scholar and former senior advisor to the US National Intelligence Council and Special Operations Forces. Asia is where the action is. Five billion people one-third of the global economy two-thirds of global economic growth a third of the Fortune 100 companies eight of the ten largest armies five nuclear powers and massive technological innovation. Whether using demography geography or economy as a metric Asia is already the present-and it is certainly the future. In The Future Is Asian Parag Khanna sweeps us along on his travels spanning Saudi Arabia to Japan and Russia to Australia explaining how Asia is by far the most ethnically linguistically and culturally diverse region of the planet. Even for Asians Asia is dizzying to navigate. That complexity leads to common misdiagnoses: Western thinking on Asia conflates the entire region with China predicts World War III around every corner and regularly forecasts debt-driven collapse for the region's major economies. But in the real world the region is experiencing a confident new wave of growth. India and Southeast Asia are now outpacing China leaders have put aside territorial disputes in favor of integration and today's infrastructure investments are the platform for the next generation of urban and digital growth. We cannot afford to continue to get Asia so wrong warns Khanna. If the nineteenth century featured the Europeanization of the world and the twentieth century its Americanization then the twenty-first century is surely the time of Asianization. With America's universities and tech sector dependent on Asian talent and politicians singing the praises of Asia's glittering cities and efficient governments Asia is firmly in our nation's consciousness. Now The Future Is Asian accurately shows Asia from the inside out telling the story of how this mega-region is coming together and reshaping the entire planet at the same time.
