This reminds of another conversation from a meeting in the week before with Ben Edwards, the VP of Digital Strategy at IBM, where he said that same exactphrase: the power to mobilize.
So I was curious to see this exactphrase pop up in various media analyses where implications of Euro-demise, such as redenomination risk, cross-border contract liability, and so on are getting a thinking through, at least in the media, for example here in the WSJ.
These days it takes Google just half a second to report that it gets 6.8 million hits for the single phrase liberal media (though you're best off taking the exact figure a bit cautiously).
