From the Chinese metropolis of Xian to the shores of the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, goods and ideas traveled on this road, enhancing the lives of millions of people.In May 2005, during the annual meeting of the Asian Development Bank, finance ministers from 13 Asian nations moved a step closer to creating an Asian monetary fund and establishing a Silk Road for a new era. Although building this road is a long process, the fact is that Asian countries (including Japan) are pushing for more regional financial integration.The reasons for this common desire are twofold. Asian governments were disappointed with the International Monetary Fund's response during the Asian financial crisis of 1997, and the region's emergence as an essential component of global growth is coming to fruition.This book has at its core an "economic change" premise: Global economic leadership changes over time, and the world is now entering a period of such change. In coming years, Asia will emerge as the leader in global economic growth, whereas the West will enter a more subdued growth cycle.A big part of the investment community dismisses this argument as nonsense. Very few contemplate imminent change at a time when America's economic and military powers seem boundless. Yet, historically, these are the times when change begins, when expectations are low. As myriad arguments are floated as to why the status quo will persist, those who fall for simplicity will be caught off guard.Many skeptics will demand more concrete data in support of our conclusions and the underlying assumption upon which our assertions are based. We do not contest the rationality of this point of view, but the reality of structural change is that its evolution begins before hard data becomes available. Far-sighted investors must be ready to explore opportunities before indisputable proof emerges. When it does, everyone will jump at it--or
