Re: The Global Alternative Economic Programme

["Andrew Hagen" <xah@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found one article called "James K. Galbraith on Global Keynesianism,
an essential summary" (via Google).

It would be advantageous to propose an alternative system.

Raising the possibility of increasing global GDP would be a tempting
carrot to wave in front of the capitalist donkey. The global justice
movement has a wider agenda, however, not necessarily incompatible with
growth, but potentially forgettable when placed next to it. It is
crucial to continue to call for the worldwide legalization of union
efforts, the installation of democratic norms in all countries, global
justice, and similar measures.

Even setting aside potential objections about the inclusiveness of
Global Keynesian demands, would I offend anyone if I suggested that
"Global Keynesianism" is not a very marketable "brand"?

I'd like to suggest the phrase "Global Development" to stand at once
for global justice, sustainable development, global Keynesianism, debt
relief, and free but fair trade.

By doing so, the IMF, the World Bank, and the WTO will have to take a
stand against "Global Development."

That would be good P.R.

I offer to help if you need it to write an action statement.
