Um alright then.
Well, I was impressed!
2.8 billion people live on less than 2 dollars a day. there are almost 700 billionares now too.
Hey Alex, so what did you think of his pledge proposal? Does it tickle your fancy at all?
um, without saying too much…i’m already working for an totally different type (its pretty innovative) micro financial group. i think our system will require less money per person and won’t require a pledge either. and our system will be more efficient as well.
i’m impressed by this guys proposal, but i think all he really needs is for my start up to start being a reality.
so, i know thats vague, but what i’m alluding to is mostly still confidential. so…my final thoughts are that this guy is great, but that better and more efficient ideas are actually on the way.
Sounds interesting…micro financial group. So, without breaking your confidentiality promises, can you say if its toward the same sort of goal?
When your project is up and running id be happy to promote it on a few sites.
This guys project has been backed by some pretty big names here in Oxford,…if yours is on the same lines maybe you could work together…his email is on the site.
well, the goal our goal is to solve world poverty while simultaneously providing a venue for actual free trade (instead of that stuff that gets called free trade nowadays). oh, with a communications/tech booster shot provided for all areas lacking.
thats about as far as i can go. the rest must wait until july.
your promotion offer is a good one, thank you. and you’re right, when the time is right i’m sure we will contact him. excellent point.

Cool.
the estimated GDP of the world is $60,000,000,000,000 or roughly $10,000 per person(6.3 billion) in canada the average GDP per person is about $30,000 which is one of the 15 richest nations.

who thinks the poverty problem could be solved by a revenue sharing program between countries, aka forien aid, its going to be a long process at best. the rich countries look out for number one first, then develop forieng aid programs with there spare change. i find it analagous to seeing a homeless person on the street- if you got change in you’re pocket why not give it to them(minor inconvienence to you , great for them) but you shouldn’t go to the bank.
yeah, but your forgetting about foreign investment in emerging markets. many to most markets are closed off the the 1/3 of the world with capital. what if we broke the dam
if every country had equal share in the worlds GDP every country would have
an average GDP per person equal to Lybia. if you live in a country like canada would you rather have a similar financial state to Lybia?

Poverty is a neccessary fact of any capitalist society. Without the poor, who would hold up the rich?
The global economy is no different to that of countries. Without the poorer countries we would never be able to ahve the standard of life which we have come to take for granted.
i was crunching numbers and it seems that if we had half the people we do now no one would be poor, until then i consider myself one of the lucky ones.
i don’t know (or really think) that being poor is a necessary state of a capitalist society. i do know (that is, think) that everyone deserves equal access to capital and equal opportunity.
oh, how american of me?
thus, we need to make trade actually free. get money, communication technologies, and opportunities to people who don’t have it. our markets are mostly closed off towards whats easily accessible (those big corporations down the street). the internet has helped a bit, but we can do much better.
lets give people the opportunity to buy what they want from who they want.
i’m caught in a pickle. its not that i think capitalism is so great, i just think that this change to the system is a first step towards…improving the world. a total world wide change of the economic system seems a little, i don’t know…far away and immediately impossible (impractical goal for the next 6months to 5 years). we need to create " an access" to opportunities for people have more limited opportunities than us in the first world (…if any reader isn’t from a richie country, then scratch the “us”…or whatever is suitable). maybe those who don’t have money right now would better know what to do with it if they had a share.
then the real revolution comes.
