so india, specifically the wisdom tree india etf, has driven the chart. can we think deeper for a second? is there something that sets india apart from the rest of the emerging economies? yep. ponsi points out the recent action is directly related to india's currency, the rupee. it bottomed last wednesday. you're not late here. before that the currency had been in free-fall hitting all-time lows against the dollar thanks to out of control inflation. when the rupee was getting crushed, nobody wanted to own rupee denominated assets like the indian stocks that make up the etf. last week got an anti inflation from the indian central bank which restored confidence. and since then the e.p.i. off the races. today the rupee hit a two-week high and the e.p.i. continued to roar. this is such a beautiful chart. in other words, the buying of the rupee signaled it's safe to buy indian stocks. and when that happens, the investors looking to play the return jumped all over this. so ponsi thinks india has more room to run. my view, the fact is, in this environment, your

c-span: middle class in india vs. middle class in the united states--what's the difference in--in just living? >> guest: the middle class in india, like so many middle classes, is essentially defined by the triumph of the struggle against necessity. and that means you're middle class, basically, if you don't have to worry where your next meal is coming from, and you're middle class if you have a roof over your head, and you're middle class if you don't have to worry that your children will have a--get a disease and die and so on. so it's--the ability to triumph over grinding necessity defines the middle class in india. now obviously, the middle class here lives in considerably greater comfort. the middle class here, these are the guys who take the bargain cruise to the bahamas. i was talking to the novelist, tom wolfe, not long ago, and i asked him, i said, 'are you amazed at the level of affluence in new york society?' and he said to me, 'no.' he said, 'what's really amazing is that even as we talk,' he said, 'my plu
