The recent G20 meeting was thought of as the beginning of a new Bretton Woods conference or Bretton Woods II.

Bretton Woods took years to get, so, when this is over, how will the economic system change for the world?
How many people in your opinion will be left in poverty due to this change?

socrates doesn’t understand what’s really going on, either that or that he’s part of the NWO agenda.

The global elite is precisely advocating population control and EVEN depopulation. As for food consumption, they are going to create an artificial food shortage therfore causing famine. Civil unrest and wars will be the outcome.

In their one world government (united nations), they will have a single currency to control the global economy, so there will be no competitors for them. The fascists are not the ones who oppose these plans, but the real fascists are the ones who advocate a New World Order.

This is an academic work i have been working on for so long but i have not gotten any concrete and detailed information. Some kind-hearted individual should please help me out here. The focus is on HR Development; how the credit crunch/ world economic crisis affects the development of Human Resource both positively and negatively. Thank you sooo much.

I just need a few views on what it was like when you were first out there in the economical world. What was okay? What was bad? What did you like? Etc.
more on paperwork please!
:S

Yes. There is no substitute for hard work. Volunteer for the ugly job no one wants. Frequently ask your boss for more work. Focus on your customer’s needs. Ask more questions of people. Keep your advice to yourself, unless specifically asked.

Peace.

I need a better understanding. Please if you could go into detail with examples, thanks!

Because of it’s financial strength, New tork is one of 3 of the world’s financial power centers.(the other 2 being London and Tokyo)
The GDP (gross domestic product) of the NY metro area is almost 1 trillion dollars. (about $56,000 per person, which if it were a country, would make it the second highest per person in the world.)
Google: NYC GDP—then click on the wikipedia source for a very detailed answer to your question.

They have the world at their knees paying millions and millions of dollars. Even China, Russia, USA, or the UK are unable to stop them. Will they be the new economic world power? I’m amazed since I thought China was the most likely candidate but they humbled by their lack of power against the mighty pirates.

Last year, 20% of the 1,265 Chinese commercial vessels that passed through the Gulf of Aden came under pirate attack. A total of seven hijacked. And you can see it in our own military leaders statements that they are helpless to do anything and express fear of what is to come.

I think the world’s economic power is changing before our eyes. So much for NAFTA when cost of good will be so outrageous that we can only survive on our own production. This is probably good and will force America to start making their own goods or buy only from our landlocked neighbors.

This couldn’t have come at a worst time when we are hurting financially, however maybe this will create jobs in our countries. Should we blame Obama for killing their people? Was it even necessary since all he had to do is pay them a few million to get the Captain released? It looks like he has created more pirates from this one senseless action to kill our economy even further.

Your thoughts?

I want to get a parrot so I will fit in. You will never get respect from Pirates unless you have a parrot!

you’ve mistakenly included the USA. when the Pirates took a Usa Flagged Ship, the UNARMED Crew took it back. then the Pirates took the Captain who was later rescued and a few pirates were shot dead and 1 was taken prisoner.

hummm. i wonder

what were the political ,economic,intellectual,religious,and technological development which led to European discovery,exploration,and conquest of the ""new world"?
What were the results when these two worlds collided?

Curiosity, or paper that’s due Monday?
Books and books have been written on this subject.
Political - in 1494 treaty of Tordesillas Pope divided all "new lands" btw Spain and Portugal, which pissed off everyone else. Also shaky relations btw Ottoman Empire and Europe meant trade thru Mideast was volatile and unreliable
Economic- silks, spices and other treasures came to Europe from Asia via the "Silk Road" (MANY middlemen thus enormous markup, also pilfering and loss likely). Even sailing around Africa to Asia was at least a year round trip and extremely dangerous.
Intellectual - people already knew the world was round, but they thought it was a lot smaller, so sailing west to reach the East seemed perfectly reasonable.
Technological - compass, sextant and astrolabe helped navigate far from land day and night; also ocean-going ships had been developed that were stronger, lighter, and more maneuverable than medieval ones.
What led individuals to GO on those voyages? "God, Gold and Glory" is the old saw, but Gold definitely came first and God’s name was taken in vain to justify all sorts of wrongs. Some of the priests and missionaries surely had their hearts in the right place. However, reading a document when you get off the boat (in Spanish no less) that says "if they don’t submit to God and Spain right now it’s gonna be war" … read more about "the Requirement" here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requirement_(Conquistadors)

I recently took a course at my university that focused on world history. More specifically the economic history of the world. Most people are as of yet unaware of what has most recently transpired. I will try to shed some light on the current economic situation by describing the new developments.

First, let me say that neither side (liberal or conservative) will be able to fix the economic problem in the U.S. in the ways that have worked in the past. The reason for this is rather frightening: The fundamental principle that drove the free market no longer exists. That principle: supply and demand.

Within the last ten years the world has managed something that hasn’t been done since before the upper-neolithic revolution: There is enough product to satisfy the demand of every person on the planet.

Granted, many of these people do not have a way to purchase this product. But, this only creates a further problem: This is a further decrease in demand on the economic level. Ergo, the imbalance between supply and demand becomes even worse.

Western civilizations have a large amount of overall wealth, so almost all people have the EXTREMELY BASIC necessities. This creates a lack of demand for these items.

All this just keeps going in circles. And this leads me to the very terrifying truth: The Free Market will fail. It is inevitable.

As much as people will hate me for saying it, (and it goes against what I’ve always been taught) the only long-term solution is a shift towards socialism.

We need a different means of measuring wealth in this brave new economic world. I believe money will be obsolete within 100 years.

This is not something to be afraid of. This change will allow for a major increase in the global standard of living. Don’t you see? This is the end of poverty, famines, plagues, and mass disease.

It really is amazing when you think about it. I’m rather optimistic. I think the future is going to shine brighter than anything we’ve EVER seen on this planet.

What say you?

As long as greed is an attribute of man then capitalism will exist. I have no idea what course you took or who taught it or wrote the text or made up the hypotheses; but it is entirely delusional. Remember just because some professor taught you something doesn’t make it necessarily true. I was taught in the 60s that a great depression could not happen again. We are in one now albeit to a lesser degree. If you line up all the economists end to end, they would never reach the same conclusion.

i want some knowledge about it ..i just wan a little background that what was the policy of the people who knew that the recession is going to take places.. who were those people ?

www20: Your qualifications quit obviously surpass my own, and as such, I have a question. Wouldn’t that economic application rely very heavily on supply and demand? An overall supply larger than demand is something that hasn’t happened in recorded history, so I have a hard time accepting that past economic theories could describe it. Perhaps this is due to my lesser education on the subject, but could you clarify this point?
Jill: I was not aware of some of the things in your answer. However, your statement about the Reagan and Bush tax cuts causing economic prosperity have just caused me to lose every piece of respect I had for any of your statements. You obviously don’t know how to research a topic properly.

Congratulations! You get an "A"! Almost all the answerers on here don’t have the slightest clue as to what Karl Marx wrote about when he wrote "Das Kapital". He didn’t write about communism; he wrote about capitalism, and he predicted exactly what you predict in the last 5 paragraphs of your question.

Personally, I like this the most about the Star Trek universe. Money doesn’t exist any longer, and people are free to improve themselves and to do whatever they want to, to contribute to their own, and their community’s, well-being.

Does this current economic downturn mean that they will enforce the ‘Mark ot the Beast", in order for anyone to buy or sell?

They may implement a new world currency, that is possible. I do think the time of the mark of the beast is soon to be, not very many years from now.
