This weekend I received by courier from the UK the just-released report The Next Wave: Globalization After the Crisis, published by Jomati Consultants LLP, the London-based affiliate of Adam Smith, Esq.  If you don't know Jomati, you should:  Based in the City of London, it's headed by Tony Williams, former managing partner of Clifford Chance and then of Andersen Legal.  (You won't be surprised to hear that I count Tony a good friend.)
The 35-page report is chock full of data and charts (my kind of report), including, for example, tables detailing the:
- Population
- GDP
- CAGR of GDP for 2000-2008
- GDP per capita
- Number of lawyers
- Population per lawyer
- Number of Fortune Global 100 companies, and
- Number of Fortune Global 500 companies
in key markets across the globe, including among others the US, the UK, Canada, the EU, China, India, and many more (Africa, anyone?).
This is not, in other words, armchair theorizing about what might or might not happen, blessedly innocent of those inarguable and sometimes nasty creatures known as "facts on the ground."
If you would like a copy, please let me know.
