Historic shifts are underway on the New Silk Road where East meets West creating alternative investment opportunities.

When conventional wisdom is not working, we need to consider alternative wealth creating strategies.

In this post, I provide a pointer to an article that provides an overview of a part of the world along the old Silk Road ... where we think of a network of traders in caravans loaded with silk, spices, flowers, jewelry, and gold ... and trade routes with the romance of the Indian Ocean, from Perth, Australia to Mombassa, Kenya along the coast of East Africa, with passages up and down the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea.

This region is called MENA (the Middle East and North Africa) where East meets West.

Much has changed in the region over the years and its reach has expanded such that the New Silk Road weaves through Damascus, Dubai, and Hong Kong with many points in between. China has passed the USA to become the Arab world's largest trading partner as it is in pursuit of the region's oil.

Growth is happening in a part of the world where water is scarce and it is difficult to grow food.

This region is providing wealth creating alternatives, in areas such as water, food, infrastructure, energy, and engineering services, as a result of recent political thaws and expanded trade with Asia.

As a former engineer with General Dynamics and management consultant at Deloitte … I am on a mission to empower individuals by increasing their financial literacy, improve their ability for personal sustainability, and contribute to the program that has a goal of creating 100 Millionaires by 2012.

I favor a recent quote from Steve Forbes. Forbes says “financial education, and the resulting literacy and empowerment, are the keys to recovery from this ongoing financial crisis.”
