Breakout Nations by Ruchir Sharma
The era of easy money and easy growth is over. China, in particular, will soon slow, but its place will not necessarily be taken by Brazil, Russia or India. This title shows how weaknesses and difficulties often overlooked in the inflated expectations and emerging markets mania.

A fascinating gallop through the countries at the edges of the developed world. Not only does he challenge the accepted wisdom - that China and India will motor on, ad infinitum - but he comes up with some surprising candidates for the next decade's economic stars. * Sunday Times *
This is a great road-map to the new and better-balanced world in which we will all live, and an encouraging one. * Independent *
This is a book of fascinating analyses which argues that the growth nations of the future will emerge from the margins of the world economy. It will tell you the price of a cocktail in Rio and bases one fruitful line of argument on the cost of a bedroom in the Four Seasons hotel chain around the world. * The Scotsman *

But this is hardly an affront. As with Mr. Lewis' work on the European crisis, for sheer readability and insight on the various parts of the ongoing developing world drama, [....] you won't find a better choice... * Jon Anderson, Wall Street Journal *
