Dear Reader,
Our cover story in Asia this week gives warning of a chain
reaction of proliferation that could result from North Korea's nuclear antics;
if China is at all serious about joining America as a global leader, this is the
time for it to shoulder its responsibility by helping to punish Kim Jong Il.
Elsewhere, our cover leader gives an early warning of a different sort: the
danger that a bigger role for government could pose for American business.
Barack Obama, and his Democratic allies in Congress, risk overreaching in their
zeal to sort out America's troubles. By all means Mr Obama should fix the flaws
of America's free-market capitalism, but he should not take its dynamism for
granted. That dynamism, argues our special report in this issue, means that American business
should emerge from the recession leaner and stronger than ever.
Here are some
other pieces from this week's issue you might also be interested in. You can
