Who's Weathering the Global Recession?
Scour the headlines of just about any major newspaper these days, and you're likely to come across a story on the global economic crisis plaguing so many developed and developing nations alike.

But buried under these headlines are glimmers of hope and optimism.

So which are the world's most economically optimistic countries? Global Top 5s is a monthly feature by RealClearWorld.com powered by Gallup's worldwide research. Learn more at Gallup.com.
