Its per capita income could rise sixfold. It thus holds the promise of making some 4 billion Asians, hitherto commonly associated with poverty and deprivation, affluent by today's standards. This study is aimed at key opinion makers to foster debate on a vision of and strategy for Asia's potentially historic rise among the global community of nations between now and 2050, and offers a long-term perspective of the Asia region as a whole UR - http://ezproxy.alfaisal.edu/login?url=http://sk.sagepub.com/books/asia-2050 ER -
