What’s the fastest growing economy in the world?
If Mongolia didn’t pop into your mind first, you’re probably not alone. This country of just 2.8 million people is landlocked in the middle of Asia, but it’s growing at more than twice the rate of China. Its staggering rate of more than 17%-a-year growth last year may explain why U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a pilgrimage to Mongolia, along with Vice President Joe Biden and before him George W.
