14.Earth's next superpowerThe following countries have been sitting on hidden talents.And Now they're about to fly.
NIGERIA (尼日利亚)
Nigeria says it pumps out as much oil as the other two oil-producing countries,Kuwait and Iraq.All this oil is cycling cash into the Nigerian economy and creating extremely rich businessmen.Analysts say that if Nigeria can improve its schools and technology,it could balloon into the world's 13th largest economy by 2050,right between Turkey and Italy.If that reason is not enough for optimism,Nigeria's president also has the sunniest name of any world leader:good luck Jonathan.
VIETNAM (越南)
As agriculture has given way to industry,unemployment in Vietnam has dropped.
What's Vietnam's trick?It's ready to work.Other countries'laborers aren't as cheap as they used to be,which makes Vietnam a relative bargain for companies that need new factories abroad,However,the country has almost no railroads,its highways are in poor condition,and its largest city has just one airport,which was built before the Vietnam,War.So what's the use of producing export-ready goods if there's no convenient way to ship them?The good thing is,however,officials are widening highways,building a new airport and so on.
CHILE (智利)
Pipes,computers,motors,and your microwave all have one thing in common:They're made with copper.Copper makes the world go round.And lucky for Chile,it's got about a third of the planet's copper supply.It just needs a way to dig it up and the government is pouring money into the country's mines.
