Global Economic Instability

As the economy shrinks in the USA, the rest of the countries of the world are experiencing equal or worse.

The economic instability is feared to potentially lead to political instability. In a world replete with terrorism, a deeper unspoken fear is that the final result of worsening economies would lead to the worst case governance of those countries.

What a mess...

The CIA is well versed in such matters. A simple trip to their website will give you lengthy data on the economies of all the countries.

"The Wasteland" By T.S. Eliot pretty much describes our sad economic conditions.

"He wept. He promised "a new start".
I made no comment. What should I resent?'
'On Margate Sands.
I can connect
Nothing with nothing.
The broken fingernails of dirty hands.
My people humble people who expect
Nothing.'
