Emerging Markets

The investment-management industry breaks down the world’s economies conveniently into major and emerging markets. Those metrics may be less relevant on a real-economy basis, given the enormous wealth that is being generated from what was once called—pejoratively—the third world. As income grows in developing nations, fresh themes evolve for global investors. Technology adoption and health-care expenditure are just two examples. Primary industries are no longer the whole story.

The New Map
Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations
Daniel Yergin

On the surface, The New Map would seem to be more about fossils fuels than emerging markets. Think again. The pursuit of oil wealth or the cost of energy resources are common threads across the developing world. Following in the wake of The Quest and the Pulitzer-winning The Prize, Yergin has assembled voluminous analysis in this book that clarifies the priorities of energy-hungry China and the future of oil-dominated Russia, juxtaposed against the shale revolution in the United States. Caught in the middle of those shifting geopolitics are the Gulf states and Iran, all of which are keenly aware of the dour outlook for their commodity-as-ATM economies.
