"On behalf of Merrill Lynch and Capgemini, we are pleased to present
the 2007 World Wealth Report. This is our 11th annual in-depth look at
changes in the high net worth marketplace, which includes our read of
macroeconomic factors shaping the behaviors of wealthy individuals
around the globe, and our insight as to what is driving growth in the
industry."
Driven by a strong global economy, the wealth of the world's
high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) increased 11.4 percent to US$37.2
trillion in 2006, according to the 11th annual World Wealth Report,
released today by Merrill Lynch (NYSE: MER) and Capgemini. The number
of HNWIs in the world increased 8.3 percent in 2006 to 9.5 million and
the number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals (Ultra-HNWIs) grew by
11.3 percent to 94,970.
Emerging economies proved resilient, with continued growth in their
HNWI populations and solid investor cash flow to riskier corners of the
market. The largest growth of the HNWI population occurred in Singapore
and India, where the increases over 2005 was 21.2 and 20.5 percent,
respectively. The Report suggests that economic growth will slow in
2007 as mature economies grow more moderately.
The Death of the West: How Dying Populations and Immigrant Invasions Threaten Our Culture and Civilization is a 2001 book by paleoconservative commentator Patrick J. Buchanan.
Here is the description of the book that appears on the back of the paperback edition: The West is Dying. Collapsing birth rates in Europe and the United States, coupled with population explosions in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are set to cause cataclysmic shifts in world power, as unchecked immigration swamps and polarizes every Western society and nation. The Death of the West details how a civilization, culture, and moral order are passing away and foresees a new world order that has terrifying implications for our freedom, our faith, and the preeminence of American democracy.
His book The Death of the West expressed concern at the declining numbers of non-Hispanic whites in America, arguing that few nations have ever held together without an ethnic majority. In a 2002 speech, he said, "In the next 50 years, the Third World will grow by the equivalent of 30 to 40 new Mexicos. If you go to the end of the century, the white and European population is down to about three percent. This is what I call the death of the West. I see the nations dying when the populations die. I see the civilization dying. It is under attack in our own countries, from our own people."[27] Buchanan believes that if these demographic trends continue, young Americans will spend their golden years in a "third world America", which will reduce the nation to a conglomeration of peoples with nothing in common. He believes this can be credited to the 1965 Immigration Act and the cultural revolution of the 1960s. He also notes that past immigration was European, while 90 percent of new legal immigrants are Asian, African, and Latin American and that they are not "melting and reforming".
