Businessweek has rated the countries best suited to profit from the economic recovery, based on findings from a business school in Switzerland. IMD business school surveyed economic, financial, social statistics from 58 countries. Results were then broken down into four categories: economic performance, government efficiency, business efficiency, and infrastructure.
