This race exists because of imbalances in prosperity in world. The
ultimate effect will be to completely level standard of living in the
world, which in the greater scheme of things will be a good thing.
This level will be far higher than it is now for the vast majority of
people in the world. For some unfortunately it will no improvement,
possibly even a slight drop.
It's easy for me to say though, I live in a country that has gone
from one of Europe's poorest, to one of Europe's richest in barely 20
years, thanks to globalisation and external investment (and EU grants
and tax breaks to help attract that external investment).
