I want to start by i do not know how many of you had a chance to look at this, the speech at Kings College in cambridge about two weeks ago. It was a speech on the economic prospects, so you will remember that title. Harkening back to the spirit of that paper, you also looked in that speech for the prospects of the next 100 years and drew out two scenarios. One would see per capita income standards double over the next 100 years and the others, seeing it increase tenfold depending on how the world organized itself over the coming decades on new challenges we face. I thought that was a nice framing and i thought we could come back a little bit. I am modest so i tend to look at the next decade. What are the prospects for the next decade .
