Niall Ferguson spoke with The Telegraph about what he believes the world may look like 10-years from now, in 2021.

Key points:
~ China will be the largest economy in the world by 2021
~ No guarantees the euro will still exist
~ The U.S. could europeanize itself, or it could revitalize itself
~ Tiny possibility we get western-style democracies in the Middle East
~More alarming to think about a "restored caliphate"
~ Germany's love of European integration under threat
