Sanyal's articles seems to be based on the fact that Hyper growth economies will be exporting capital but it does not take into account the huge amounts of capital being sent back by the Indian and Chinese expat communities which are each larger than the population of the United States. This is capital coming back for emotional reasons and which the western markets have no way of holding back regardless of how "safe" they seem. There is also a total disregard of the huge capital flowing out of western countries to Russia as Russia finally opens up full throttle and exports its oil. While some may say this is no different from say Saudi Arabia exporting oil but the crucial difference is that Saudi spends the money they get importing goods and arms from the western economies while Russia does not need to import weapons from the West. This means that a lot of capital will get transferred to Russia from the West.
