“In the United States and the European Union, central banks have printed money mostly out of thin air. It’s quintessential funny money — an addictive drug that, when ultimately withdrawn, could leave a series of painful hangovers. But in key emerging markets — especially China — the central banks are drawing the liquid funds from a rich treasure chest of reserves. And this, in turn, is helping to create a burgeoning new middle class that’s driving more cars, crowding into more shopping malls, using more mobile devices, buying more homes.”
