Jim O’Neill on Globalisation

Jim O’Neill the Chief Economist of Goldman Sachs writes on the benefits of globalisation for the UK economy in today’s Sunday Telegraph

“For the nation that provided the English language to the world, that provides the link between east and west in terms of time zones, globalisation - the major structural trend of our generation - is going to become an ever greater bonus….At the heart of all of this is the expansion of the so-called BRIC economies. The emergence of Brazil, Russia, India and particularly China, closely followed by another group of emerging economies with large populations that we have dubbed the “Next 11”, will drive our future.”

Jim spoke at the Keynes Society in February and there is a report here
