"The global economy is in a state of relative turmoil. In most of the developed economies, growth is anemic at best, and the ability of governments to manage both their finances and their debts is being called into question.

Meanwhile, global stock markets are volatile, and companies in virtually all industrial sectors—especially in the developed markets—are wondering how best to cope with all the uncertainty."
