The Millionaire Not Next Door

Planet Money reports on Asia’s millionaires: “For the first time, Asia’s millionaires have more money than Europe’s millionaires, according to a new?report.” Asia’s millionaires now control $9.7 trillion, compared to European millionaires’ $9.5 trillion. Furthermore, “[e]ight of the world’s 10 fastest-growing millionaire populations are in Asia.” Perhaps Gary Becker is right about the world’s new “center of economic gravity.”[%comments]

    Always put your belief in doubt, that’s the good thing to do. Remember how long it took asian countries like China, Vietnam to finally adopt capitalism? We are still in the process of building a better world, and ‘how’ is yet a question without an ideal answer. China can be right or wrong.
