Here he puts forward radical new ways of dealing with the crippling indebtedness of developing countries, a new system of global reserves to overcome international financial instability, and an economically incentivised framework for dealing with energy pollutions which create global warming and which threaten us on a planetary scale. He argues convincingly for the reform of global institutions such as the UN, the IMF and the World Bank to make them truly capable of responding to the problems of our age and shows why treating developing countries more fairly is not only morally right, but because it increases global public goods, is ultimately to the advantage of the developed world too. Above all, Stiglitz argues we need to change the way we think. Now more than ever before, globalization is bringing the countries and the peoples of the world into one interdependent community, bringing with it a need to think and act globally.

} ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// \\ Two motors will carry a "meat grinder" which produces dough in this case, over a hot surface. The two motors will move the grinder in the x and y direction. The dough will therefore be distributed on the hot surface in the shape of a stock market graphic. The statistical bread will bake on the hot surface and will be eatable. The connection to the numbers from stockmarket can be done with processing in real time. 28/11/06 I finally have all the parts I need. Took some time until I received my precious motors and gears and all. Now I will fix it all together. I have to do the software part as soon as I'm done with that. On the website http://derstandard.at/ the change of the index is shown every hour. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
