Show more »"It is fantastic that an opportunity and popular interest for genuine global unity, particularly global financial institutions, is beginning to arise. My qualm is that we have to ensure that any global institutions created, are truly democratic, and create an equal voice for every nation in the world. These institutions must be governed by democracy, not economic ideology or orthodoxy, if they are to be truly pragmatic and successful in running the global economy for all nations well. Current global institutions such as the IMF and World Bank are not democratic, and thus dont meet the needs of a changing dynamic world. They are governed by laissez-faire orthodoxy, if they were democratic,they would be governed by the common good of the world and thus be dynamic and pragmatic in their policy making. But we need more than just a global welfare system to help countries economies once they've collapse. We need a democratic global financial institution that helps prevent countries from getting into economic jeopardy in the first place. And this is also an opportunity to create democratic global institutions to deal with climate change, poverty and all other international problems, like you say. Angela Merkel suggests creating a U.N. economic council, like the existing partly democratic U.N. security council. What ever global institutions get created, they must be genuinely democratic, so that every member state has an equal vote and voice, in order for these global institutions to serve the interests of individual nations and the entire world."

The IMF and World bank are not democratic. They are run by right wing Americans who follow the free market ideology. The IMF is greatly responsible for the current world economic crisis. IN exchange for loans, the IMF forced countries to unnecessarily privatize enterprises and public services (education and healthcare in Africa), deregulate markets, sell off primary resources and make countries open to foreign exploitation. The IMF helped create the Neo-Liberal model of globalization that we have had for the last 30 years. It's this model of globalization that is unsustainable economically, socially and environmentally. It's self destructive. We need a new kind of globalization, governed internationally by democracy and pragmatism, not economic ideology (neo-liberalism). Economic, social and environmental pragmatism can only be achieved through democracy. Im sure the free market theocrats at the IMF won't like the idea of having their institution RADICALLY REFORMED and DEMOCRATIZED, but it has to be done." Show less »

Show more »"How can we ensure Obama's administration doesn't retreat into protectionism? The argument should be that there are 2 options: 1) Retreating into protectionism, making the recession worse for Americans and the world by destroying the wealth created by global trade and global markets. Eventually when the American economy starts to grow again, Re-globalization will occur, recreating the chaotic problems of today's unregulated global trade, leading to another global financial crisis in 10 or 15 years time. 2) Rising to the challenge of creating a Global Democratic Economic Regulatory institution, allowing for the continuation of globalization and wealth creation and jobs, and importantly, economic stability that will come from global regulation, and greatly reducing the chances of a future global financial crisis. These institutions could potentially allow for wealth redistribution, meaning common money could be used to invest in and develop the economies of LEDC's, which would be beneficiary to MEDC's as world GDP would increase and world market's would grow in size and wealth creation, thus spreading wealth into MEDC's. We can synthesize the interests of individual nations and the collective global community to serve them both better, if we create a democratic global economic institution." Show less »
