Poland’s economy could catch up with France’s during this century, said Tim Marshall, the author of “Prisoners of Geography”, during an interview with Polish Press Agency.

Marshall accepts that politics and ideology are still important. But these should not be discussed without reference to geography as a determinant of behavior.
