    As home to the United Nations headquarters and the New York Stock Exchange, New York probably has the best claim to the title.

    It's highly subjective question - Americans would say New York, Brits - London, Russians - Moscow, Japanes -Tokyo. In reality there is no world capital because each of those cities might be important to some nationalities yet completely insignificant to others. If your question was more specific, such as what is world capital for fashion - it's probably Paris, economy New York, world affairs- Geneva etc. etc

    None. Every city in the world is important, depending on who's point of view. its disappointing however that you only placed these four cities when in fact there are other capitals that really matter. Take for example Rome and Vatican City. They are the center of the world's largest religion. Baghdad is also crucial. In fact, even HonkKong and Cairo are as important as New York.

    Inmyopinion, it is London because of many reason: it was formed earlier, itlocated almost center to Europe to America route line, industrial development and revolution started first in it ,itis near to the coast harbour like others, starting point of the time zone greenwich merdian, the language of english broadly spoken allover the world.

    none of the above. Washington DC should be considered the world capital due to the fact most decisions made there, good or bad, most of the time have a changing effect on the world.
