The world government thing seems a long way off for a number of reasons listed, but this crisis is nowhere near the magnitude that would be required to make that happen. this is the worst financial event in generations, and in large part helped elect a progressive black president, but to put it in perspective it's not nearly as dangerous as the great depression (in 1932 GDP was down 10%+ and unemployment was pushing 25%, compared to the losses today which are meager in this context).<BR/><BR/>regionalism seems silly to me because specialization benefits the individual and the group, locally and globally. if you were to switch to only regionally produced products the prices would skyrocket and the quality would plummet. anyone can choose to be only a regional consumer but it doesn't make much practical sense. granted there has to be a balance between country village and walmart-dominated suburb.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11622623672493685084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8845245630956521711.post-27869943639365253282008-12-11T14:28:00.000-08:002008-12-11T14:28:00.000-08:00yes. if you read Justin's column you will see that...yes. if you read Justin's column you will see that his is a response to the FT piece. He quotes Gideon throughout and discusses the liberal fascination with world government. Antiwar.com is libertarian btw ... so they naturally support regionalism and individual freedom over centralized rule and collective purpose.sascha matuszakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944888875276302775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8845245630956521711.post-85244756746145664182008-12-11T01:24:00.000-08:002008-12-11T01:24:00.000-08:00published a day previously: http://www.ft.com/cms/...published a day previously: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/7a03e5b6-c541-11dd-b516-000077b07658.htmlCharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11622623672493685084noreply@blogger.com
