some of the positives i have seen is with the decline of the commodities in oil prices, economist have to rethink and reform themselves, changing tax codes, changing land acquisition, currency controls, small business startups, red tape. a number of those things are under examination now. think he will be the political leadership around the world in enacting those reforms. sherry: when you say competition does that mean countries are focused -- inwardly focused? know, i think more that when china was growing at a more rapid rate, brazil had positive growth rates, there was a lot more demand. when there is more demand, everybody to get their fair share. with less demand, there is more
