I heard one distinguished commentator say that at least life in Europe was comfortable - only to be rudely told by a leading businessman that it wouldn't be for his children. Of course, there were bright spots. Angela Merkel, making her debut as Germany's new Chancellor, gave a well-received speech. (I particularly liked her homage to Ludwig Erhard, the architect of the post-1945 Wirtschaftswunder - when was the last time that he got his due?) Gordon Brown, Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer, got a round...

...Internet company Livedoor, Goldman Sachs even estimates Japan's economy could grow slightly more strongly than last year. And in Germany, business confidence is at its highest point since May 2000, according to a survey released last week, auguring well for the new coalition government led by Chancellor Angela Merkel. In a well-received speech to the Davos participants Wednesday, Merkel promised to introduce greater flexibility into the German economy and attack bureaucracy in an attempt to break out of what she called "our self-inflicted paralysis." But China's continuing boom and its uneasy economic relationship with...
