Read MoreThe Economist: America’s economy – Austerity bites?
UNTIL RECENTLY America’s squabbling politicians have mostly resolved their fiscal differences by delaying them. That tactic came to a head at the end of last year, at which time a host of tax rises and spending cuts were scheduled to drop.

India is often spoken of in the same breath as China because of its billion-plus population, economic promise, value as a trading partner and growing military capabilities. All five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council support—however grudgingly—India’s claim to join them.
