There are nearly 7.5 billion humans on planet Earth, but these 75 men and women make the world turn. Forbes' annual ranking of The World’s Most Powerful People identifies one person out of every 100 million whose actions mean the most.
The current year's rundown features the solidification of energy in the hands of a first class few. Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, grabs the best spot surprisingly after China's congress altered its constitution in March, expanding his impact and taking out term limits. He appreciates a religion of identity not seen since Chairman Mao.
