The Economist does a nice job of bringing insight and clarity to the global economic situation.
"In this article we look at three pieces of evidence: the underlying social conditions in poor countries; poverty alleviation over the past decade; and the incidence of wars and political violence. By those measures the world seems to be in rather better shape than most people realise."

Davos or Sundance?
Which "festival" will have the greater impact on humanity over the next 365?
Davos is the annual home to the World Economic Forum where everyone who's anyone ascends to the top of the mount in Switzerland to discuss matters like: east-west relations, poverty, collaboration, water, energy, climate change and the muck of sub-prime.
The Sundance Festival is the annual independent film festival and the "child" of Robert Redford when everyone who wants to be someone in film ascends to the top of the mount in Park City, Utah.
Both events are precious opportunities to connect face-to-face. Both are seeking to change the world and to change how we see the world. One is a reflection of the world the way it truly is while the other is the attempt to make it the world some would like it to be.

The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google
The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google
I do enjoy the big ideas that whack conventional thinking in the side of the head. I've not read this book by Carr (who wrote the controversial tome: Does IT Matter? Information Technology and the Corrosion of Competitive Advantage)
Just came across the interview and review of his new book and I like the approach. IT is fast becoming a commodity, a utility - like electricity.
