In this groundbreaking treatise, bestselling author and economist Ravi Batra identifies the roadblocks to world economic prosperity and what we need to do to overcome them. Bringing the same insight and expertise that made his book The Downfall of Capitalism and Communism an international bestseller, Batra takes on falling minimum wages, corporate scandals, rocketing oil prices, and many of the other crises facing the world economy. He offers an expansive, optimistic vision of how the international community can address them and bring about something historically unprecedented: true global economic prosperity.
Ravi Batra is the author of six international bestsellers, two of which were New York Times bestsellers. He has appeared on NBC, CNN, ABC, and CNBC and has been profiled in the New York Times, Time, Newsweek, and many others. He is a professor of economics at Southern Methodist University, Dallas.
