In 2050 there will be 9.3 billion people alive - compared with 7
billion today - and the number will still be rising. The population
aged over sixty-five will have more than doubled, to more than 16
per cent; China's GDP will be 80 per cent more than America's; and
the number of cars on India's roads will have increased by 3,880
per cent. And, in 2050 it should be clear whether we are alone in
the universe. What other megachanges can we expect - and what will
their impact be? This comprehensive and compelling book will cover
the most significant trends that are shaping the coming decades,
with each of its twenty chapters elegantly and authoritatively
outlined by Economist contributors, and rich in supporting facts
and figures. It will chart the rise and fall of fertility rates
across continents; how energy resources will change in light of new
technology, and how different nations will deal with major
developments in science and warfare. Megachange is essential
reading for anyone who wants to know what the next four decades
hold in store.
