The delicate equilibrium required for the world economy to function by and large has been shaken in recent past, particularly since the events of September 11th, 2001.

The stage has indeed changed. The grounds for the fight against terrorism have had a drastic impact on geo-political dynamics. Consumer confidence has been considerably shaken.

It also has the undesirable effect of widening the gap between rich and poor, thus increasing the odds of a major rip in the system.
