Excerpt from [Bloomberg](http://www.bloomberg.com/video/nouriel-roubini-on-india-china-japan-europe-economies-I_G2DhiaT5q6slA2dIouJw.html) -- "In the next decade, it could be the first time in 30 years that India is growing faster than China because China... has a movement from capital-intensive to labor-intensive growth.
