The day that changed everything...

My three thoughts were: the beginning of the school year, the Warsaw Marathon and the golden Polish autumn. These findings are not the result of any serious study or a nationwide test, but a game our editorial team played. Surprisingly, nobody mentioned the collapse of Lehman Brothers (September 15th). On this one day the world was changed - and the world of real estate was particularly affected. The fall-out of the events of four years ago can still be felt to this day, as even the cleverest experts struggle to figure out whether we have a second or third wave of the crisis to contend with, or if we have in fact already turned the corner. So we asked key figures from international consulting agencies to share their opinions with us. Their conclusions? Read this month's feature survey to find out. Meanwhile, on a less serious note and one more suitable for the holiday period, a good idea for a book to take with you on holiday might be ?The Good Soldier Švejk' by Jaroslav Hašek. He is, after all, the author of a saying which suits our current predicament perfectly: "Ať si bylo, jak si bylo, přece jaksi bylo. Ještě nikdy nebylo, aby jaksi nebylo," - it was never that there was no way, it has always been that there is some way.
