China may be all the rage, but if research is to be believed, India may be where the growth is. Why? Prosperity. India ranks as the world's 45th most prosperous country, according to a new report from The Legatum Institute. China ranked 75th.


The implication, naturally, is that a more prosperous India should be able to support more goods and services, more spending, more economic growth, and ultimately higher stock prices.
