Global Economics And Structures: The Pilot of the Nduga
http://globalstructures.blogspot.com/2008/11/pilot-of-dagu.html
Global Economics And Structures. Sunday, 16 November 2008. The Pilot of the Nduga. A report from Wamena, the capital of the West Papuan highlands.). I have a new friend. He is Papuan, from the Nduga tribe. He is 22. And he wants to be a pilot. His name is Samuel. The same around the world? Why is a water engineer dressing into exactly the same clothes in Budapest and in California? Ok, maybe there is some common culture. The behaviour? Okay, they have to think about the same things. But the hair. Fourth,...

Global Economics And Structures: All sweet Zurich, you darling!
http://globalstructures.blogspot.com/2011/08/all-sweet-zurich-you-darling.html
Global Economics And Structures. Friday, 12 August 2011. All sweet Zurich, you darling! If you're looking for an example for the kind of global economic uncertainty we live in, the Swiss central banks announcement about plans to pack the Swiss Franc to the Euro. Must be a perfect one. Coming from a decidedly non-random process (just imagine the meeting that finally decided on this), and totally unforeseen by most bar the insiders. Made my day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Global Economics And Structures: Nature's Planetary Boundaries
http://globalstructures.blogspot.com/2009/10/natures-planetary-boundaries.html
Global Economics And Structures. Thursday, 15 October 2009. A fantastic Nature page on Global Boundaries. The only missing item is the human society and global economics. There is none, for the social and environmental dynamics are interconnected. The need for a common approach is trivial. It seems, though, it is not happening fast enough.

Global Economics And Structures: The Three-Layered Chess Box
http://globalstructures.blogspot.com/2010/05/three-layered-chess-box.html
Global Economics And Structures. Thursday, 13 May 2010. The Three-Layered Chess Box. Why are sovereign states so reluctant to coordinate policy, let alone give up power for the protection of the shared economic and ecological commons? Tuesday I got to meet an international relations thinker, Joseph Nye. He, as an extension of his earlier innovation smart power. The trouble is that the rise of the new, global organisational level has not been accompanied by governance institutions with the same scope....

Global Economics And Structures: A Tragedy Of The Global Policy Commons
http://globalstructures.blogspot.com/2010/08/tragedy-of-global-policy-commons.html
Global Economics And Structures. Friday, 20 August 2010. A Tragedy Of The Global Policy Commons. Two global economics observations about the ineptitude of economic policy. Why are we unable to provide even the basic level of forecasts? And in any case, if there is a double dip, why is it here? If the ‘global policy maker’ has been dealing with this crisis for three years straight, why has it not been sorted? It is the lack of global policy institutions. Would this world be just as good as the current one?

Global Economics And Structures: Apropos Quantitative Easing
http://globalstructures.blogspot.com/2010/11/apropos-quantitative-easing.html
Global Economics And Structures. Tuesday, 2 November 2010. What passes these days as monetary policy in the US and in the Eurozone is going to be a complete disaster for developing countries. Just think for a second what the taboos are is that emerging markets politicians cannot touch when it comes to monetary policy. Surely, the independence of the central bank is going to be top of anyone's list. How do you build an efficient central bank in a developing country? 17 November 2010 at 09:45. On your poin...

Global Economics And Structures: Recovery Doubts
http://globalstructures.blogspot.com/2009/11/recovery-doubts.html
Global Economics And Structures. Friday, 20 November 2009. The Green-Shoot Worm And The Abracadabra Herd). From the end of spring, we have been wondering whether the recovery was really there. We, The Herd, convinced ourselves that this is going to be a short trough. Perhaps a deep, but definitely short one we were telling ourselves. Now consider the comparison between the current “post a crisis” rally, and other similar one in 27 years ago. Disappeared without traces.). Which takes us to these wonderful...

Global Economics And Structures: Copenhagen, Barack Obama, and Global Economics
http://globalstructures.blogspot.com/2009/11/copenhagen-barack-obama-and-global.html
Global Economics And Structures. Monday, 16 November 2009. Copenhagen, Barack Obama, and Global Economics. Obama damps hopes for final treaty on climate change at Copenhagen". The week starts with yet more global procrastination. Barack Obama commented that. We should not make the perfect the enemy of the good". Which is a good soundbite. The trouble is that the truthful sentence should have been something like this: by scaling down the Copenhagen agreement we might manage not to make the barely-acce...

Global Economics And Structures: The Honey Trap
http://globalstructures.blogspot.com/2009/11/honey-trap.html
Global Economics And Structures. Friday, 6 November 2009. Notes from the Papuan Highlands, from about a year ago). In other words: who the hell are we even to attempt to provide a ‘strategic vision’ for the people of Papua? Most of the new buildings try to imitate western styles or other, wealthier parts of Indonesia. There is hardly any architectural reference among the housing of the well-to-do to the local heritage. Which takes me back to a previous point. Who the hell are we to do this? Our intellect...
