WHAT ARE THE TOPICS "INTERDEPENDENT ECONOMY"
DISCUSSES?
Issues of macroeconomic policy - local, national or globally interwoven - are analysed. We place question
marks at the dictate of growth of GNP, bi- and multilateral development relations, the agenda of fighting poverty, free trade
and international finance.
We wonder what role the World Bank, the IMF and the WTO should play. We say that people
and governments of third world countries must assertively set their own agenda’s. To achieve development there is no need
for donor’s programmes and conditions.
|
Finally we put forward that awareness and empowerment for people is the basis and goal of all human civilization.
In this 21st century, these should be the lead for political decision-making. To pursue mere power of states is an obsolete
concept. Politics of “the struggle for markets and survival of the fittest” must end if it is world peace that
we want to achieve. Is there a role to play for the United Nations in finally updating our thinking?
