A battle for economic and strategic advantage

Why does infrastructure matter? Anthony Rowley, a veteran economic commentator, argues that advanced economies neglect infrastructure at their economic, social and strategic peril and risk being overtaken by more infrastructure-conscious emerging economies.

Infrastructure is one of the literal “foundations of the future” and those foundations are in serious danger of being undermined or even collapsing in some advanced economies so far as transportation, energy, water, sanitation and other services are concerned. Communications (including digital infrastructure) generally fare better but without more attention to basic physical infrastructure, economic progress will be set back.

Foundations of the Future: The Global Battle for Infrastructure seeks to bridge the gap between economic specialists and the general reader on a subject which is of critical importance in terms of the quality of economic and social life, of public safety, security and of environmental sustainability. The book reveals a history of neglect of infrastructure in recent decades by many advanced economies (the United States especially) while key emerging economies (China in particular) have realised the huge potential advantage — strategic as well as structural — of investing heavily in this key socio-economic sector.

Targeted at general readers, economists, financial analysts, engineers, politicians, diplomats, university students, logistics specialists and academics, Foundations of the Future retails for US$38 / £30 (hardcover) and is also available in electronic formats.
