I don't think those are...
guaranteed in any of them to be the recipe for the next few decades, partly because much of that picture around global supply chains is changing, and much of the role of technology and how it affects how people participate in the global economy is changing.
So I think those are useful, but I don't know if they're an assured recipe going forward.
There certainly have been the patterns for the last 25 years, but maybe that's a place to start if you look forward.
Well, I'll tell you some of the things that are interesting, that we find interesting.
One is, in fact, the fact that more and more and more, the role of technology in the global economy is getting bigger and bigger and bigger, right?
In the sense that technology seems to become way more general purpose in the sense that it's foundational to every company, every sector, and every country.
And so the role of that is interesting.
And it also has these other
outsize effects, because we know that technology often lead to the phenomenon of superstar firms and superstar returns and so forth.
So you see that quite a bit.
So the role of technology is an important one.
The other one that's going on is what's happening with globalization itself.
And by globalization, I just mean the movement of value and activity related to the global economy.
So we did some work a few years ago that we've tried to update regularly where we looked at all the things of economic value.
So we looked at, for example, the flow of products and goods across the world, the flow of money, finances and other financing and other things.
the flow of services, the movement of people, and even the movement of data and kind of data-related activities.
What was interesting is that one of the things that has changed is that the globalization in the form of the flow of goods and services, it actually kind of slowed down, actually.
And so that's one of the reasons people were questioning, is globalization dead?
Has it slowed down?
