...push the burden of inflating the economy onto the central bank not only underestimates Hayami's efforts but overestimates the options available to his successor. The deflation busters insist that the BOJ can jump-start growth by encouraging more investing and spending. But a central banker has a relatively small number of imprecise tools at his command, and the current governor has exhausted virtually all of them. Over the past five years, Hayami has consistently kept interest rates at nearly zero in a desperate bid to get people spending. Money in Japan is practically free for anyone who wants...

But Munoz doesn't simply fit the profile of the traditional corporate director: he's an expert on Latin America, where Marriott hopes to expand aggressively...
...such assurances meant little for me as my husband and I struggled to find a new home. We decided to downgrade from a house to an apartment, but even that didn't help much. An almost-done deal fell through because a South Korean diplomat as well as a banker at Standard Chartered suddenly outbid us by at least $1,000?the agent delicately informed me that we were "too small potatoes" to be pinning our hopes on such a nice apartment. Another potential flat, which had cost $3,000 last June, was listed at $4,500 when I visited...
