I spend a lot of time in coffee shops writing these days. I don't know why, perhaps many of you have experienced this, but I seem to have a very productive time writing when there is the smell of fresh coffee, the sound of cappuccino machines and the white noise of the coffee crowd to add to the ambience.

Last week, Credit Suisse announced the publication of the Global Wealth Report 2010. It’s an inaugural study which aims to “provide the most comprehensive study of the world wealth”.
