COMMENTARY     

namoq
12th May 2009 		There are also economic basketcases down the bottom like Ukraine and Equatorial Guinea. These countries may not have much to mortgage
namic
12th May 2009 		I hope that Islamic nations become more prosperous and reevaluate their attitude toward debt. Carrying some level of debt greatly encourages the economy
namoq
12th May 2009 		Notice that Chile, a South American economic success story, is near the bottom of the league table of public debt. And Botswana, the example of African nations is the second lowest African nation
