How will the world evolve as development areas expand, and what will be the role of industrialized countries and of Italy?

A reflection on global economics and on the changes triggered by globalization and the emergence of new developing countries.

With the fall of the Berlin wall and with globalization, the world opened up and many countries that used to be under-developed gradually started to emerge. They represent today an important part of the world economy and fully participate in global trade. Developed countries, that were industrialized long ago, went through this transition in a state of concern because it implied significant changes. Many advantages were lost, new tensions emerged, technological progress deeply transformed production and consumption models. Yet the world has grown significantly over the last few years, despite the crisis, and millions of people have reached the highest levels of consumption.
There are more risks in this globalized world, but there is much more opportunity. In developed countries, future growth will be supported by immigration and innovation. Immigration will compensate for the current demographic decline and will stimulate internal demand. Innovation will open new markets and will lead to a renovation of consumption habits and goods. “It is up to us – explains Cipolletta – to turn these two factors in growth processes in a wider world, because nowadays a consistent part of world population is involved but tomorrow everyone will be”.
