Thomas Friedman: Brains vs. Language
Leviathan,
China also has 60% more workers than India and fewer kids. That means they invest more than India but get a higher growth than India inspite of their investment efficiency being ~40% lower than India.
Razib,
You say that "the brown diaspora is selection biased" but others are not? Given that a large fraction of both Indian and Chinese population have recently immigrated are you saying the Indians are given IQ tests at the airport but the Chinese are just waved in? You may be able to explain why the Indian-White household income gap is nearly as big as the White-Black gap by selection bias but not the Indian-Chinese gap.
