Dr. Antholis gave a very interesting picture of sections of China and India and their struggle to improve their economy.
He highlighted the issues between local jurisdiction and trying to set a federal system as a model for the entire country.
He touched on differences in cultural/religious issues and political orientation, i.e. communism v. democratic philosophies and implementations.
Despite potential difficulties, he presented the material in a way that stressed the potential to achieve great advances and improve the financial situation of the people in a country. He also gave some examples from the US federal v. state control.
