36% of world GDP? What about the concept of Natural Size?

If you properly shelter, feed, cloth educate 1.4 billion people, you easily are 20% of world's GDP as China has about that % of world's population. That is everything being equal, but alas! Not everything is equal. Thus China will be < 20% of world GDP. Not in a snap shot in time but in the long range.

Now for the article. There are times that technology, or commodities or finance get the front pages and people start reasoning in these. Today is technology. but don't worry. It will pass as 2000 passed too.

I don't know why Japan is in that list. Does Japan still matter in the whole scheme of things? Britain? You see those are centers of technology.

Where is water? Agriculture? That is what matters going forward. Technology will be sold like Casio watches. by the Kilogram.

Start ups? Why the fetish with start ups? I tell you. People are not having proper jobs and venturing into business because the job as we knew is disappearing. We have millions of small businesses in the emerging markets and no one ever called them start ups.

For the 1% promoting sart ups is great. They can be high risks and high promises. The capital owners will risk only a few bucks. The involved toil but are risking livelyhood doing the start up thing.

Overall the picture is bleak for the small guy (as always have been) and look bright for the 1%. I am not the 1% and I worry. Always had. Thus it is tough to sell a story to Elmat
