Arvind Subramanian

Arvind Subramanian, Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and at the Center for Global Development, argues in his recent book, Eclipse: Living in the Shadow of China’s Economic Dominance, that China has already become the most economically dominant country in the world in terms of wealth, trade, and finance. He stipulates that China’s eclipse of the US as a global economic power is more imminent, more broad-based, and larger in magnitude than anyone has anticipated. In addition to his work on China, Subramanian has written on growth, trade, development, institutions, aid, oil, India, Africa, the WTO, and intellectual property. He was an assistant director in the Research Department of the International Monetary Fund, where he worked on trade, development, Africa, India, and the Middle East. An advisor to the Indian government, he serves as a member of the Finance Minister’s Expert Group on the G-20. His book, India’s Turn: Understanding the Economic Transformation, was published in 2008 by Oxford University Press.
