Hunger and Thirst.
Unbridled Passion.
Optimism and Enthusiasm.
"By golly, we will be second to NONE."
Do people in the USA see it coming? Perhaps they sense it, even if they cannot see it yet. Our Indian friends will have ups and downs, no doubt, but the long term trend is unmistakeably UP.

It will be be interesting to see how China v. India plays out. Two nations with a shared border that have huge populations and are aggressively expanding with enormous appetites for resources. I see fireworks. Big fireworks.
To: TheWasteLand
The world’s largest democracy (and largest English speaking population of any one nation), bordering the world’s largest dictatorship. Yes, it will be interesting.

Do people in the USA see it coming? Many Americans are isolationists and do not travel outside of the States much less think about our place in the world economy. I would guess that 95% of Americans could not tell you the value of the dollar against the Euro and the vast majority do not understand the impact of the declining dollar on their daily lives.
While America is not in economic decline the economies of India, China and Brasil are on the way up. However, at some point in time at least one of the above mentioned nations will match the US in GDP and perhaps even surpass us.

I don't recall seeing Hindi at FR before. There are a lot of English speakers in India. I always told those illegals back home, "Ingles es dinero."

As I understand it, Indians generally admire America and even like President Bush, at least based on a poll I read the other day here on FR.
Maybe they can keep China busy for awhile for us.

"However, at some point in time at least one of the above mentioned nations will match the US in GDP and perhaps even surpass us." U.S.A. GDP = $13.84 trillion (2007 est.)
Red China GDP=$ 3.251 trillion (2007 est.)
India GDP....=$ 1.099 trillion (2007 est.)
The U.S. economy grows the GDP of India every year.

I did not know whether to laugh or cry when someone just last week cracked a joke out here:
War is God's Way of Teaching Americans Geography
I think ol' Fred Thompson said something during the campaign, after he had been on the road for awhile in many hamlets, towns and cities, about "he senses something out there in America worrysome on the minds of people" and I think maybe he was talking about this (America's competitive future).
I do wonder if we will get an intelligent discussion of it during the Fall Debates, or just some short soundbites and then on to other topics.

I am not saying the US economy will be eclipsed by India, China or Brasil next week but perhaps in the next century.

If you don’t count the Muslim population, India is a fairly conservative western friendly place. Although they have a bigger bureaucracy then America. John Stossel did a special about how it can take years and even over a decade to get a business permit, while in Hong Kong it takes less than 24 hours.

Wow, ten years to get a business permit? That IS a lot of bureaucracy.
India is moslty Hindu, isn't it? Do you know what % of the population is muslim? I know I've seen some stories about muslims causing problems in India with some isolated terror incidents, but they're fairly outnumbered there, aren't they?

Brazil GDP = $1.314 trillion (2007 est.)
GDP - real growth rate: 5.4% (2007 est.)
Annual inflation rate up to 5.6 percent
Brazil doesn't look bad and they found some oil.

India’s rise doesn’t have to be threat to the US. Just as the UK or Germany or Japan’s rise from poverty post WWII did cause some heartburn for the US, in the long-term, all came out good. It’s a good thing that india and China are doing well — my gut feel is that china will either bust as a commie power or slowly transition out of it’s faux-communism

China, if it doesn't implode, and IF it keeps up it's 9 to 10% growth (two, admittedly big ifs) will overtake the US by the middle of this century. The 2007 real GDPs for the US, China and India were: 13.8 trillion US$, 3.25 and 1.1 respectively and their GDP growth rates in 2007 were 2.2, 11.4 and 8.5 respectively.
Assuming that the US, china and india grow at 2.5, 10 and 8 for the time period, by 2020, their GDPs will be 18.6, 10.2 and 2.76 trillion respectively.
By 2029, China, by the same ASSUMPTION above, would overtake the US GDP, and the respective GDPs would be 23, 24 and 6 trillion.
