2010. So far, half of us are saying the crisis is over, half say it's getting worse. Well, I want to hear you guys' opinions on where the global recession has us, and who has the biggest problems. Note I'm talking about the crisis itself and the problems it causes, not just problems overall. Don't vote Africa just because of say, diseases or America because of obesity. The crisis itself.
Personally, I don't have an answer of my own yet, so give me some reasons for your choice and I'll consider it

Europe. The EU is in danger of collapsing if a couple of countries go bankrupt which is not improbable at all. I don't think other regions have the same problem.

Due to the recession itself? Greece hasn't been doing too great from what I hear.

Actually, I feel like an idiot for singling out the country that was LEAST affected by the recession and putting it up on the poll. Australia, right?

Actually not the EU but the european currency union. Although I'ld make any bet that this won't happen.
Also I'm very sure that there is no realistic way for most western industrial countries to recover from their huge dept overall. I just can't imagine that this would work at all to get back to zero depts. Maybe it's because I'm thinking in a very limited matter - only guessing from the experience I've gained in my comparably short lifetime of not even 20 years, which mainly is that the depts increase and politicians in a democracy can't do anything about it.

Probably Europe, from England to Greece they are threatening to send us into a double-dip recession.

I agree. This is surprising. With the economies of so many developed nations in trouble, no one will have the luxury of sending scientists and film makers to Antarctica. I think we can safely expect Antarctica to take the biggest hit.
