China and India
China and India have more than 38 percent of the world’s population. In the late 1940s the Chinese and Indian economies were roughly comparable. By 2003 Goldman Sachs was arguing that the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) would be wealthier than most of the current major economic powers by 2050. The reality has been quite different. While China has experienced strong economic growth India has faltered.
Professor French’s presentation will explore the similarities and differences between China and India that underlie these differences in economic growth, and will explore the future challenges facing both countries.
