But yeah, at least they are trying to join together and do something. But I bet they would completely ignore the concerns of the other countries not lucky enough to be a part of it.
And I would like your views on
this. Don't make it into a socialist-capitalist thing though.
The G20 was meant to be created to include rising, and powerful economies. Like the article says, Europe, Canada and the US has no spare money. But these new countries do. Thus ideas are now possible with the availability of money. There just needs skill and actual labour.
I find it interesting that the article turns to Ayn Rand. Unfortunately, she doesn't realize that even the poor people who appear to leach of the rich, do work hard, and possibly have great skill but simply cannot go nowhere for many possible reason. While we'd all like what Rand wants: a world where all leaches are discouraged, and true hard work is appreciated.
The thing with Europe is their outrageous spending. Like the Greece crisis. I'm not too sure how an Objective movement would fix that. It could, but then other issues could appear. All they have to do is STOP THE DAMN SPENDING and realize what they need to cut anything that can be put off. Once they recover at last, they must not be overwhelmed with the ideal of SURPLUS.
I think, though, politics will always get in the way of what must be done: some outrageous spending will still be done, and other cuts will be done that should not. It's always, like the US downturn, because of laxness that this happens. The awareness should never lax.
