Scott Fitzgerald wrote: \u201cLet me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And so they are. Although, today\u2019s very rich are not necessarily Americans or Europeans. They are quite often the citizens of emerging markets. Today Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Russia and Turkey are home to 320 billionaires, according to the 2012 Forbes magazine list of the world\u2019s richest people \u2013 many more than the 203 billionaires who carry European passports and just trailing the 425 billionaires residing in the United States.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tallying the number of super rich is only one way to measure the growing economic and political clout of the emerging markets. A far more telling and representative comparison of both relative and prospective influence and wellbeing involves simply asking people in emerging markets how they feel about their national economies and personal finances, their financial future and job prospects for their children.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2012\/07\/12\/chapter-5-the-winners-and-losers\/\">Pew Research Center survey<\/a> shows, the citizens of emerging markets are more optimistic than those from most developed countries in views about their future and that of their children. And this difference is likely to shape the world economy in the years ahead.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/yaleglobal.yale.edu\/content\/emerging-economies-rich-and-confident\">Read the full commentary at YaleGlobal Online<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The emerging economies account for an increasing share of the globe\u2019s billionaires.
