...Mexico's have-nots, promising to "keep our young people from having to abandon their towns and families for the other side of the border." A former social worker, he lives in an austere Mexico City apartment. He says he will steer resources to small businesses and end tax and regulatory breaks enjoyed by large corporations. He also wants to review the North American Free Trade Agreement, which has hurt Mexican farmers by deluging the market with cheap food imports.

Hanging over several of New Zealand's key industries (think banking), there's a branch-office stigma. Australia's Treasurer Peter Costello is chopping at tax rates with the glee of a burly bloke in a blue singlet. Kiwi workers complain that Costello's counterpart Michael Cullen is being a scrooge on fiscal policy, stacking up Budget surpluses when there's a good case for tax relief. But Cullen has no room to move. A current account deficit...
