Poland Rising
Our friend George Friedman has talked about Poland as one of Europe’s rising powers. Poland is making great economic strides as well. This chart shows it steadily closing the per capita GDP gap with Japan.

The trajectory is impressive even compared to fast-growing Asian economies like China and South Korea. US investors don’t typically think of Poland as an investment opportunity. Maybe they should.
