CONTAGION-The Word Applies to Economics As Well As Ebola-

Is America now facing three global epidemics  - Ebola, the EU's economic flu and deflation as well as the slowing of China's economy? 

Is America Again the Leader on the World Stage?

As Bill Clinton famously said, "And so far every single person that's bet against America has lost money because we always come back."

What Happened to the BRICs? What Happened to Emerging Markets?

From the time Goldman Sachs coined the term BRICs, it was assumed that Brazil, Russia, India, and China, along with other so-called emerging markets, would be the new dynamic economic force in the world. Even during the crash of 2008, emerging markets mostly only hiccupped while the leading economies stalled.
Now the reverse has appeared to set in. 

What Is Actually Happening in Europe & What Does That Mean for America?

"It's the economy, stupid" - the phrase that propelled Bill Clinton's election - still resonates, but with one major caveat. Today, the phrase ought to be, "It's the Euro, stupid." 

"Five years ago, during the heart of the great recession, many in the world saw the United States and its very pluralistic model of capitalism and liberal democracy as a concept that had seen better days, as a failed model.

Now it is America, with all the arguments against its plodding, gridlocked government, that is leading the world's economy out of the recession. American is leading because of a series of correct government decisions, such as the stimulus, the auto bailouts, the stress test for its banks, and the QE policy of the Fed. But America is also leading because of its investments in energy."

"China and Egypt were both great civilizations subjected to imperialism and were both dirt poor back in the 1950s, with China even poorer than Egypt, Edward Goldberg, who teaches business strategy, wrote in The Globalist. But, today, China has built the world's second-largest economy, and Egypt is still living on foreign aid. What do you think young Egyptians thought when they watched the dazzling opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics? China's Olympics were another wake-up call - "in a way that America or the West could never be" - telling young Egyptians that something was very wrong with their country, argued Goldberg."
