What is the Capital of the World?
Just read an interesting article written by John Parker about this very question. (In a spin-off magazine To the Economist with the rather pretentious title of "Intelligent Life" lol ! Why do I read this magazine you might ask....)
Over time it has been Rome, Constantinople, London and New York. On a scale of 1 to 5, Parker rates each of the following cities on: Power and Influence, Income and Wealth, Education, Global Connections and Culture. The cities he considers are Beijing, Dehli, London, Mexico City, Mumbai, New York, Shanghai, Tokyo and Washington. I think there are others he could have considered such as Buenos Aires, Berlin, Paris, Moscow and Rio. My vote goes to London , I only score it down a bit for Power and influence in the light of the economic crisis, but for you what is the Capital of the World?

Re: What is the Capital of the World?
When we have world government,
(the New World Order being spouted by some misguided leaders), it is expected there will be three main cities - London - financial capital Rome - religious capital Denver - military capital ...but pigs will fly won't they  PS you may wonder where the political capital is - unneccessary, when you have totalitarianism, and military are needed for population control*, not war. *that isn't birth control
