"We did OK," said President Barack Obama. "I go back home satisfied," said Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. "We'd never thought we'd obtain such broad agreement," said French president Nicolas Sarkozy.

CEOs, government leaders and heads of NGOs had the luxury to discuss the rapid growth in new technologies, innovation in the financial industry (oops), and ways to combat hunger, disease and global warming. This year's World Economic Forum conjures a radically different zeitgeist.

B. Ramalinga Raju, who has admitted to inflating his software company's profits by around $1 billion in recent quarterly results, is India's version of Bernard Madoff. And people responded accordingly. Foreign investors and customers, for example, may be more cautious when choosing partners. The media and authorities will examine company results more closely, and this will make some auditors more cautious. India's SEBI, the stock market regulator, has strengthened disclosure requirements on family-controlled companies.

They serve on boards, teach at business schools, fund charities. Percy Barnevik's retirement plans are more ambitious: He intends to lift millions of people out of the world's deepest poverty.

But finding local salespeople to sell the Amsterdam-based company's specialized products to businesses turned out to be an uphill battle.

But the Canadian province is one of the richest spots in the world when it comes to natural resources. It's the world's largest producer of uranium. It's the biggest producer of the fertilizer potash (current price: $1,000 a ton, up from $300 this time last year). It is the world's largest exporter of green lentils and chickpeas. And it's home to enormous supplies of oil and gas: The U.S. buys more oil from Saskatchewan than it does from Kuwait. No wonder the CEO of one Fortune 500 company - Jim Prokopanko of Mosaic, which has a potash mine near the town of Esterhazy - describes the prairie province as "the next sovereign wealth fund."

China, now the world's second-largest automobile producer, was already selling low-cost vehicles in dozens of countries around the world at the time - with jarring success.

Governments and central banks may need to figure out a way to boost CEO confidence, too.

Think of your friend who quit Lucky Strikes after a coronary incident. Or look at how banks are reducing their dependency on debt after watching rivals go belly-up.

He strides toward a converted textile mill in south central Mumbai, which now houses the offices of Vodafone Essar, a subsidiary of the British-based wireless provider. Inside, it looks as if a procurement manager has ordered an entire catalog of Herman Miller's latest offerings, from angled cubicles to mushroom-shaped noise-canceling devices. Gupta exchanges pleasantries with the security guard and takes the stairs to the executive suite two at a time, greeting half-a-dozen people by name along the way. He stops before the office of Vodafone's chief technical officer, who looks up warmly. "Vivek!" the man says, springing to his feet. He claps Gupta on the back. "Sometimes even we are not sure if his name badge says 'Vodafone' or 'IBM.'"

Lake Komsomolskoye, named after the youth wing of the Communist Party, lies about 60 miles north of St. Petersburg, just one of 700 lakes on the isthmus connecting Russia and Finland. There the group, many of whom helped run Russia's second-largest city, would retreat for weekends among the tall, lakeside cedars in a private compound of dachas, or country houses. Vladimir Putin, then head of external relations for the St. Petersburg mayor, was a member of the group. So was Vladimir Yakunin, who had revived a bank started by the Communist Party, and Igor Sechin, then Putin's chief of staff. The group called itself ozero, meaning "the lake," and one of its frequent guests was a bright young lawyer named Dmitry Medvedev who worked in the St. Petersburg government. One prime topic of their lakeside conversation back then: how much they disliked the unfolding chaos of Boris Yeltsin's Russia.

In the 17 years that have passed since the demise of the Soviet Union, any threat Russia posed had pretty much been relegated to defaulting on its debt.

But don't worry about pulling your Weimar-era wheelbarrows out of storage. As of July you could pay for your magazine with three newly issued $100 billion bills.

They're taking their umpteen-week vacations, perhaps enjoying state-funded massages in Baden-Baden, while we're trying desperately to squeeze every drop of fun out of our measly two or three weeks off before returning to the salt mines.
