...important to keep the country's acquisitiveness in perspective. Companies in other rapidly developing nations such as China and Brazil are also heading overseas. From 2002 to 2006, for example, India made 176 investments in Europe, according to Invest in France Agency, a government-backed investment-promotion group. China wasn't far behind with 114 deals over the same period.

Well before the official breakup of the highly influential group in 1991, Byrne dabbled in writing scores for theater, film and ballet, and directed a documentary about Brazil's candomblé religion. Since then, his work has embraced public art, sound installations, sculpture, drawing and - somewhat implausibly for the man who co-wrote the underground anthem Psycho Killer - embroidery.
