We are in the eye of a hurricane in global trade, unlike anything anyone has seen in recent history. Andy Grove calls this time a strategic inflection point, “a time in the life of a business [or country] when its fundamentals are about to change. That change can mean an opportunity to rise to new heights. But it may just as likely signal the beginning of the end,” (Grove, Only the Paranoid Survive). Our rules of thumb and assumptions are no longer valid, and countries we hadn’t considered to be competitors in the past are emerging ahead of the US. Listen and learn as Professor Doggett examines recent global trends and zeroes in on the future global economy as impacted by recent Chinese economic growth.

Currencies tend to rise as higher productivity leads economies to converge on Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) exchange rates. PPP exchange rates are especially useful when official exchange rates are artificially manipulated by governments. For example, if the value of the Mexican peso falls by half compared to the U.S. dollar , the Mexican Gross Domestic Product measured in dollars will also halve. However, this exchange rate results from international trade and financial markets. It does not necessarily mean that Mexicans are poorer by a half; if incomes and prices measured in pesos stay the same, they will be no worse off assuming that imported goods are not essential to the quality of life of individuals Purchasing power parity ( PPP ) is a theory of long-term equilibrium exchange rates based on relative price levels of two countries. looks at the prices of a Big Mac burger in McDonald's restaurants in different countries. If a Big Mac costs US$ 4 in the United States and GBP £3 in the United Kingdom, the PPP exchange rate would be £3 for $4.

Annual percentage growth rate of GDP at market prices based on constant local currency. Aggregates are based on constant 2000 U.S. dollars.
