Ok , I am not going to read that 321 pages but I have to say : being NO.1 of the list is not a bad thing but it barely related to a county's strength.
We know US is the NO.1 right now but she is in the bottom of that list.
It's alright bro, I can help answering queries.
Though countries like Japan, Germany and China Mainland are high in absolute size, let's compare net position with size of economy. In this regard top performers are Hong Kong SAR (+284%), Singapore (+182%), Norway (+171%), Taiwan (+153%), Switzerland (+120%) & Saudi Arabia (+107%). But Japan (+75%) and Germany (+36%) are still very high while China Mainland has a long way to go.
On the other side of the scale, US (-40%) despite worse than France (-20%), UK (-25%) or Italy (-28%), is still far better than say Spain (-95%), Ireland (-107%), Portugal (-112%) and of course Greece (-122%). Italy performs the best among PIIGS nations.
