Saudi Arabia is reportedly planning to build the tallest building in the world.

And could there be a more appropriate, fiscally prudent and not-at-all-utterly-hatstand time to do such a thing? We think not.

The proposed Kingdom Tower in Jeddah will apparently be 1,600m, or a full mile tall. It will cost $30 billion to build and will be nearly twice the height of the current tallest building in the world – the Burj Khalifa at Dubai in neighbouring UAE.
