“2011 will be a hard year for globalisation. 2008 showed that our
global era can bring faster growth – but faster declines too. 2009 saw the
benefits of a global response – but in 2010 divisions returned. Asian growth
bounced back, but advanced economies were mired in high unemployment...”
Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize Winner
“Change is the law of life.And those who look only to the past or present are certain to
miss the future.”
John F Kennedy, Former President USA
