The New Consumers: The Influence of Affluence on the Environment

Showing the ever-changing world economy and foretelling the financial futures of certain new world-powers, The New Consumers is a great read which was very enlightening to me. I learned tons about the past, present, and future of 20 or so countries. I also learned about money, economy, GNP GNI and PPP [different measures of a country's affluence, I=PAT (an indicator of a country's impact)], and many useful ideas and patterns that govern the world and its economy. This book has as many statistics as it does words. Other than that, this is a great book that everyone should read.
