Antoine van Agtmael: New Perspective on Europe, China and Demography

 

In this second of a three-part series, investor, philanthropist, and author Antoine van Agtmael and editor-in-chief Atul Singh discuss the troubled European economy, the challenge of demography, and China’s economic and technological future. 

Agtmael is a legendary investor who came up with the term “emerging markets” and was the chair of the board of trustees of National Public Radio (NPR). Agtmael’s distinguished track record as an investor and his rich professional career make him uniquely suited to read the tea leaves for the global economy and the future of clean tech. 

With Fred Bakker, Agtmael is the author of The Smartest Places on Earth: Why Rustbelts Are the Emerging Hotspots of Global Innovation. Earlier in his career, Agtmael authored The Emerging Markets Century: How a New Breed of World-Class Companies Is Overtaking the World. Few understand the big trends shaping the world better than Agtmael. Given his track record, his views on the future of our planet are immensely important.
