The world's most powerful people
December 24, 2008
They are the most powerful people in the world. They command respect and obvious admiration from their supporters across the world. Above all that, they are a mirror reflection of the nations they belong to. Newsweek magazine, in its latest edition, lists the 50 most powerful people in the world. Let's take a look at who all have made it to the list:
US President-elect Barack Obama tops the list. According to the magazine, the presidency of the 'intensely charismatic' 47-year-old Democrat will be judged on how he handles the economic crisis that now envelops the US and the world. 'For Obama to be remembered as a great President, he has to do nothing less than rescue capitalism,' the magazine says.
