“A crisis can be a real blessing to any person, to any nation. For all crises bring progress. Creativity is born from anguish. Just like the day is born form the dark night. It’s in crisis that inventive is born, as well as discoveries, and big strategies. He who overcomes crisis, overcomes himself, without getting overcome”. A. Einstein
Major economic organizations and business leaders are talking about "a global recession", a period of global economic slowdown. The majority is overcome by a kind of fear and sense of necessity of better cost control. News journals, magazines, newspapers are full of market forecasts, updates on the stock market.
