Change is desperately needed in the wake of the global economic meltdown and collapse of the financial order. Stimulus packages are only band-aiding the situations. We need to come to the core concept of our values and motivations that drive us every day. These are new questions that we have to face head on because it's about our survival as a planet.

Himalayan Consensus discussed at the Asia Economic Community Forum 2009
by Admin - 12/23/2009 01:43 - comments(0)
During the Asia Economic Community Forum, Laurence Brahm speaks about the meaning of terms such as “Anti-Globalization” and the “Washington Consensus” and the way that many current economic assumptions are damaging to the economies of developing countries. He asserts that assuming that universal greed (the so-called ‘rational profit motive’) at the heart of IMF and Neoliberal economic theory will produce self balancing markets, ignores many essential human values, and produces a flawed overly narrow model of development. Other systems exist, such as the model used by China in the last quarter century, and indeed, for developing nations in contemporary contexts, a new multilateral system is necessary. Pragmatic institutional transformation is a modern necessity.
