Raise Your Global I.Q.!

The global financial crisis that crippled most Western nations proved to be less damaging to Asian countries, which are now leading the world into recovery.  Last year, China surpassed Germany as the world’s largest exporter, and many experts predict that it is on the path to becoming the world’s second largest economy in 2010. As eastern nations sit poised for growth, join Council President Jim Falk and Economist Intelligence Unit Director for the Americas Nigel Holloway as they explore the rise of Asia and what it means for the West.

The World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth presents Global I.Q. with The Economist, a monthly online audiocast that connects council members with journalists around the world to discuss the pressing issues of the day.

Nigel Holloway joined the Economist Intelligence Unit in April 2004 as director for the Americas in the editorial department of Executive Services, which conducts research and publishes reports sponsored by companies. This is his second stint at The Economist, having worked for the newspaper from 1980-86, first in London and then in Singapore as the Southeast Asia correspondent. Prior to working for The Economist, he was a journalist at the BBC. In 1997, he became the founding deputy editor of the international edition of Forbes magazine, based in New York where he worked for five years, subsequently working independently as an editorial consultant until he joined the Economist Intelligence Unit.
