Why Anglo-Saxon nations have the fastest-growing economies
Article Abstract:
East Asia, Europe and America account for 90% of the global economy. The world economy can also be seen in terms of English-speaking countries and those where English is commonly used, which account for around half the world economy, and other countries. The English speaking economies tend to have strong growth, low unemployment and budget surpluses, though they also have balance of payments deficits. Factors that could be linked to these differences include a higher propensity to consumer in English-speaking countries, and the growth of Internet technologies in those countries.
