What Will Happen to the U.S. and Global Economy in the Next 50 Years?

Renowned demographer and economist Alan Nevin's new book, The Next Half Century, tells which cities and countries will fare best

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- With so much talk of doom and gloom in the U.S. and abroad, it is easy to worry that life will only get worse in the next half century. But according to Alan Nevin, a demographer, economist and author of the new book, The Next Half Century, the data show something much brighter. Global changes in population, lifestyle, education and employment point to the U.S. continuing to lead the way in creating new industries and jobs.

Nevin has devoted his career to studying the growth of the world's leading economies, with a focus on real estate development and trends. Often featured in the San Diego Daily Transcript and San Diego Business Journal, he can discuss:

• What to expect in the economies of California, Texas, Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas
• Why the single-family detached home will become a rarity — as will going to a hospital for health care
• How climate change is going to affect the construction, infrastructure and insurance industries
• Whether Deng Xiaoping's famous one-child policy is causing a long-term irreversible slowdown in the Chinese economy
• Why India will threaten China's status as the largest country
• What the Russian population's health woes will mean for that country
• Which countries will join China and India as Second World nations
