• Summary:"The global cyclical upswing that began midway through 2016 continues to gather strength. Only a year and a half ago, the world economy faced stalling growth and financial market turbulence. the picture now is very different, with accelerating growth in Europe, Japan, China and the United States. Financial conditions remain buoyant throughout the world, and financial markets seem to be expecting little turbulence going forward, even as the Federal Reserve continues its monetary normalization process and the European Central Bank inches up to its own."-from Foreward, p. xiii.
