From Miss Ruth Lea.

Sir, Another year, another World Economic Forum review of global competitiveness ("Nordic nations 'top for growth potential'", October 14). And, alas, another year of trying to pull the wool over people's eyes as to the drivers of economic growth and the world's economic hot spots. I admire the Scandinavian countries greatly but the notion that four of them are ranked among the top six for growth prospects, while China limps in at 46th, simply beggars belief. Forgive me, but just what planet is the WEF on?
