Fragility around "shocks," as in North Africa. Barton agrees that McKinsey didn't anticipate the explosions in the Middle East and Libya. Chrystia's most recent column tries to come up with a formula of sorts: blogs.reuters.com -

Price of aluminum has risen more than 20% in the last year: www.metalprices.com -
Seems unlikely that Barton is a member of Canada's Socialist Party: www.worldsocialism.org -
This is the party Chrystia was referring to www.ndp.ca
