Economic recovery around the globe
 
The world economy is picking up, but recovery is slow in the old powers and accelerated in the new. The product in Europe and America is expected to rise to 1-2% this year, barely the century-old rate of their development. But it is predicted that growth in the new powers will be three times as much, around 6%, with China even reaching 10%, thus causing fears of other Shanghai Stock Exchange bubbles. It is clear that tension has in no wise vanished. On the Atlantic front the Euro is under attack: the Greek crisis has given the London and New York finance markets the opportunity to laungh their offensive. The France-German axis is reacting by planning an economic government for the Union . On the Pacific front, relations between America and China have worsened. Washington is struggling to size up a newly assertive Beijing ; decline is making it weaker, but there are no glimmers of a politically acceptable withdrawal. These are the new power relationship
sanctioned by the crisis; new imbalances are inevitably building up.

I really don't know what else I can say or add to this.

I don't know what to add to this. Just that a new Super power was already expected. I predict that we will have to learn chinese in the next generations to come.

My new refrigerator is due to arrive later this afternoon. It's a bigass one, 2 meters tall. Simple things like this make me happy.

the rich will get richer the poor will stay poor. yep thats pretty much how it was before.

phoenix 03.22.2010 05:41 PM

economy is doing well enough. property market in my country though is going fantastically. Prices just don't fall, up up up they go. The only ones who can afford it are the rich, and the rich foreign investors.

Where can you fit such a massive fridge in an apartment??

My day is peachy sweet, dripping nectar, wonderful. Thank you for asking!

i doubt i will be able to afford a house within the next ten years with the way that the prices are going through the roof plus the genereal cost of living.
