Book launch for The Future is Asian

In the 19th century, the world was Europeanised. In the 20th century, it was Americanised. Now, in the 21st century, the world is being irreversibly Asianised.

PwC is pleased to host the Australia launch of The Future is Asian, the latest book by Dr. Parag Khanna, the international best selling author and a highly sought-after global strategist.

Dr. Khanna's landmark new book overturns decades of misdiagnoses about Asia while providing a comprehensive analysis and vision for our collective Asian future. He demonstrates how the Belt & Road Initiative will not advance Chinese domination but rather accelerate Asia's multipolarity, how nationalist leaders have put aside territorial disputes in favour of integration, and takes you into Asia's dynamic cities that are hotbeds of next-generation digital innovation. Asians once wanted to emulate the West, now the West wants to emulate Asia. Asians used to produce for the West, now the West produces for Asia. The world has grown accustomed to hearing about "America First." Is it ready for "Asia First"?
