Its ironic that while the man on the street actually blames globalization for the current state of mess, world leader’s primarily European leaders are calling for a even stronger world economic governance. They envision the world with a global central bank and a global.
Many believe that this is inevitable….while others think that this is just a European ploy to take control of the USA. The state of the economy in the EU does nlot in any way suggest that states are better off centrally managed. Surprising United Kingdom that has opted out of the European Currency order is now a strong advocate for golabl economic governance under Gordon Brown. Has he been promised the presidency of the new world order under some unholy collusion?
This debate will undoubtedly intensify over our depressed years. What is important is that citizens of the world must begin to educate themselves on this issue…and if democracy does not itself collapse…they should insist on being able to vote on this issue…rather than being ridden roughshod over by the politicians.
Today business leaders have fallen… Private sector political strength have declined. Politician are beginning to rise to the fore, taking the high road, and distancing themselves from being the cause of the problems … advocating solution that will strengthen their own power and priviledge.
Recession or prosperity, money and power grabbing will continue unabated. The question is how ordinary world citizen can protect themselves from being sacrificial pawns.
