Is the darkest phase of the dark two-year period of the world economy over? Can you see a light and if so where does it come from? From the emerging or from the advanced? The USA has entered the last twelve months of an election that will change history: in what state of shape of the economy, which has always decided the presidential elections?

And the next 12 elections in the UK, the third in four years. The centrifuge of discontent makes victims everywhere, while in Hong Kong the (unheard-of) "stars and stripes" waves. Under the sky the confusion is maximum, and the entrepreneurial spirits clip the wings.
