The world's tallest building in Dubai: What you really need to know


My thanks to reader KL for sending the link to this fascinating article over at Capital Chronicle. It seems that every time a city or a country breaks the record for the world's tallest building it is immediately followed by an economic downturn. Impressively, the 'winning streak' has been going for over a hundred years.

I'm not going to paste or steal from the article, because it's unfair to take away from such a good piece of detective work and the author deserves your eyeballs at their site. So go look for yourself.
