India the Third Largest Economy in the World
December 12, 2035 - India's GDP for last year was greater than Japan's, making India the third largest economy in the world after the US and China.
The growth rate of India's GDP has been exceeding Japan's for many years, mainly due to the higher population growth in India, becoming the world's most populous country 5 years ago, reaching a total of 1.5 billion people earlier this year. This could be compared to Japan where the population has decreased over the last 30 years by about 5 percent. This has given India a young workforce to drive the economy.
China is closing in on the US to become the largest economy in the world, due to a higher GDP growth rate and is projected to surpass in the near future, maybe already within 5-10 years.
Argument: According to the report Brazil, Russia, India and China - A Road in 2050 by Goldman Sachs, India will surpass Japan as the third largest economy in the world by 2032.
Questions: After India has followed China with a high GDP growth rate, what other countries can we expect start to grow rapidly? Will Pakistan, with an estimated population growth of almost 60% until year 2035, be able to gain on the growth rate from their neighbor India?

December 15, 2030 - There's no doubt what the most popular Christmas present will be this year. Influenced by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month, you will most likely get a present with stars, a gift card for a spacetrip.
November 19, 2040 - Today was a historic day for Iceland when their President this morning at a symbolic ceremony officially shut down the last gasoline pump in the country.

September 12, 2035 - Are you kidding? Is it possible to beam myself? No, of course not, but you can now make a 3-D projection of yourself anywhere in the world. The first product for real teleimmersion has been released, the Telebeamer.
September 5, 2035 - More than 20,000 quadriplegics around the world have now got a BCI, a Brain Computer Interface. It gives them the ability to control their environment, from driving their own electric wheelchairs outside their house, to make their own dinner.

Out of all the countries - Brazil, China, Russia and India. Russia still has the highest living standard and the more developed industry. Russian industry is 10 to 20 years behind the Western.
Russia also has ressources and a lot of nuclear weapons, so I think that Russia has a better chance to become the next superpower. In fact, none know what will happen to China - they seem to make the mistakes the USSR made - that is increase their defense budget while the population is living in poverty. Russias defense budget is pretty low at 4%

I disagree. India is unlikely ever to overtake Japan in the 21st century. Her approach to education is rote.

remarkable tricks you've shown in this article. This has been so

India with a modest growth rate of 7% should have a GDP of approximately 10 trillion $ thus making it the 3rd largest economy from its nominal GDP (1.8 trillion, 2011). Even now it is the 4th largest economy in the world by purchasing power parity (4.057 trillion $).

Countries with SMALL populations and LARGE raw material reserves will become in the next century the super powers, those with large populations, very well educated will see education being poorly paid. Manufacturing will, on the other hand, continue to require more and more raw materials to generate material for new middle income created people in those large population countries, thus driving up more and more the cost of raw materials. With Brazil having a large population and Australia having a SMALL population, more people per capita will be well off in Australia. Ultimately it wont be about larger populations but about what the basic individual gets out of it. Already Australia is the country where it's citizens enjoy more personal possessions per head of population than any where else on earth. This may or MAY not be a good thing, but is this NOT the measure of success?
