World Economy. RON PAUL on the Current Crisis. Sep 18.
Sep. 18, 2008.
Ron Paul explains how misguided policies and actions by the Federal Reserve and the government led to the current financial crisis.
Many who agree with me on a lot of other issues, do not understand my enthusiasm for gold and sound money or why I spend so much time studying and talking about monetary policy. Its true that I talk about money differently than most, but the fact is sound money offers many benefits. For example peace.
Can sound money really bring about peace? Actually, it plays a big part in peaceful international relationships. Money based on commodities, rather than paper, is not subject to government manipulation, and is a key component to free and honest trade.

World economy banks on China - 24 October 2008
Western leaders are hoping the 1.3 billion Chinese consumers will save the world economy.
Despite three decades of rapid expansion, however, the majority of China's population remains relatively poor and hopes that they can pick up the slack left by American consumers appear to be optimistic.
Al Jazeera's Tony Cheng reports.

Africa and Asia: Creating a New Axis of Partnership
With the rising economic importance of Asia, Africans are delicately forging ties with both East and West.
1) What roles will Asia, in particular China and India, play in fuelling Africa's economic growth?
2) In what ways will Africa's growing ties with Asia be similar to and different from those with its traditional partners?
3) With the boom in trade and investment, have "South-South" opportunities replaced the traditional "North-South" relationship?
4) What should Africans do to optimize the benefits and manage the challenges of these new cultural and economic ties?

Davos Annual Meeting 2007 - Frozen Trade Talks
http://www.weforum.org 27.01.2007
Frozen Trade Talks and the Need for Progress
Doha's apparent failure has given rise to a debate on the role of multilateral, regional and bilateral factors in shaping the international trade agenda. Meanwhile, it remains unclear if, and how, businesses have been affected.
1) How are regional and bilateral factors influencing the future of international trade?
2) What is at stake in maintaining a healthy global trade regime?
3) Should the manner in which multilateral trade agreements are negotiated be overhauled?

Global Economic Leadership: Is Asia in the Driver's Seat
As uncertainty looms over a US recession, there is growing belief that a decoupling
scenario will see China, India and other Asian economies taking the driver's seat for
global growth.
With over 50% of the global economy still in the hands of G7 countries and the US
dollar at historic lows, is confidence in the region's global economic leadership
premature?

Defining Global Citizenship: From Philanthropy to Activism
Contributing to the common good takes many forms, from individual acts of philanthropy to ongoing patterns of social activism.
1) How can individual philanthropists make the best use of their resources? What successful frameworks exist inside and outside the region?
2) Do companies have a responsibility to the wider community, or should they simply contribute funds to "specialist" institutions?
3) What can ordinary members of society do to become active global citizens? How can such activism be encouraged?

Middle East World Economic Forum 2007 - Stability
http://www.weforum.org 19.05.2007
Stability in the Broader Middle East: Who Is Taking the Lead?
Many international powers have scaled back their involvement in the Middle East for domestic reasons. This has created an opportunity for regional political leaders to seize the initiative on the region's political conflicts and challenges.
1) How strong is the determination of regional leaders to solve issues on a regional basis? How can recent progress be maintained?
2) What are the linkages between the various issues, and what are the prospects for a "package"?
3) What do regional leaders need from the international community to increase their chances of success?
