Which country will come out stronger after the current financial crisis?

[YS2003]

What do you think which country would emerge stronger from the current financial mess in 5 to 10 years term? The complexity and magnitude of the money involved makes me think there would be some changes in the offing, such as rise and fall of countries.

Not really sure, the global economy is so tied in together that I doubt a single country will come out ahead. I expect as a "country" most nations will be back as we were.

As for the population, people on top will get richer, and the bottom will get poorer as expected.

I also wanted to say the Eurozone, but it's not a country, so my answer confused me... I put the kettle on instead.

China will be strongest, followed by India. The U.S. and Europe will be lucky not to descent to third-world status.

I know that they got some sort of bail out today though after news articles like this it probably won't be Iceland.
