This short article and graph talks about how heavily some of the rich countries of the world invest. They had invested heavily when times were good, but once the financial crisis hit, they have seen little to no return on their money for obvious reasons. I just found this interesting because these countries were borrowing heavily overseas from other nations, and it in turn got them in trouble as the excess supply of cheap credit fueled their mass spending sprees, which later collapsed in the financial crisis.
