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.

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.
