the role of the Qatar Investment Authority in financial restructurings in Europe, the new definition of value as the Brazilian agricultural exchange commercializes not only arable land but environmental investments, and the New “Silk Roads” as patterns of trade include some financial networks between Indian and Chinese interests (although Chindia has been significantly overhyped in recent financial analysis) and the emergence of new capital markets such as Bursa Malaysia.

READING THE PATTERNS DESIGNING THE NEW INVESTMENT CODE New relationships drive the global economy. They are

not as predictable as many want them to be. India has many tendencies, Punjab focuses on Pakistan

Turkey becomes a major regional player, from Kazakhstan to Tunisia and Istanbul becomes a major global hub, matching Singapore.

China, India, Turkey all become players in the digital economy

Cities and new units become the drivers as economic arrangements predicated on 20th century needs (the Euro, the U.S. federal expenditure structure) prove less nimble than new players (Qatar is a case study).

Success is not guaranteed. It will require political leadership.
