In his new book, "The Emerging Markets Century" (Free Press, $28), van Agtmael predicts companies from emerging markets will replace familiar names like IBM (NYSE:IBM - news), Ford (NYSE:F - news), Wal- Mart (NYSE:WMT - news), Japan's Honda (7267.T) and Switzerland's Nestle (NESN.VX) as the world's most influential companies.
==================
Will that be the historical conjuncture at which the very -stupid- term "emerging markets" is negated?
