This is an auction for BREAKOUT NATIONS: IN PURSUIT OF THE NEXT ECONOMIC MIRACLES, by Ruchir Sharma.

“A book that combines keen on-the-ground reporting and economic and investment analysis with lively, lucid prose.”

• Forbes

“This is a great road-map to the new and better-balanced world in which we will all live, and an encouraging one.”

• Independent (UK)

"It’s refreshing to read Breakout Nations, Ruchir Sharma’s book on the Bric countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China—and the rest of the developing world... His book offers a careful view that has little truck with forecasts of the relentless Bric-led rise of the emerging world.”

• Financial Times (UK)

Amazon.com review:

"To identify the economic stars of the future we should abandon the habit of extrapolating from the recent past and lumping wildly diverse countries together. We need to remember that sustained economic success is a rare phenomenon. After years of rapid growth, the most celebrated emerging markets—Brazil, Russia, India, and China—are about to slow down. Which countries will rise to challenge them? Writer and investor Ruchir Sharma identifies which countries are most likely to leap ahead and why, drawing insights from time spent on the ground and detailed demographic, political, and economic analysis. With a new chapter on America’s future economic prospects, Breakout Nations offers a captivating picture of the shifting balance of global economic power among emerging nations and the West."
