Read tomorrow's news today in The World in 2006, the annual preview of the year ahead from The Economist. How worried should you be about the prospects for the world economy? What industry trends - from cars to e-commerce - should you watch out for in the year ahead. Why will people in poor countries start to get access to cheap mobile phones and laptops, and people in rich countries actually start to get thinner? The World in 2006 provides answers to these and many other questions about what lies in store in the coming year, with predictions from Economist journalists and luminaries from the worlds of business and politics. Among this year's contributors are Bob Geldof, Paul Wolfowitz, José Manuel Barroso and Carlos Ghosn.
This is the 20th edition of this successful annual. To celebrate, we include a 20-year horizon as well as our usual look at the coming year. Historian Niall Ferguson rummages through our archives to deliver an entertaining review of our past record of predictions. And you can read long-range predictions about the state of the world in 2026: its economy, its geopolitics, even its weather. All this helps to make The World in 2006 an exceptionally informative and entertaining read.
