Gordon Brown on globalisation

In a recent article that British PM has written on the Times Online, Mr. Brown has unveiled that he believes in globalisation as the way to improve the economic crisis for which the world – and specially countries like Britain, America and the rest of Europe – are going trough.

Gordon Brown believes that the strings that allied America and Britain together – the strings of truth and freedom – will help these two great nations escape from the economic crisis they’re going through at the moment.

He also mentioned a list of actions that he’s planning to take along with the American president Barack Obama:

"First, universal action to prevent the crisis spreading, to stimulate the global economy and to help reduce the severity and length of the global recession."

"Second, action to kick-start lending so that families and businesses can borrow again."

"Third, all countries renouncing protectionism, with a transparent mechanism to monitor commitments."

"Fourth, reform of international regulation to close regulatory gaps so shadow banking systems have nowhere to hide."

"Fifth, reform of our international financial institutions and the creation of an international early warning system. And last, coordinated international action to build tomorrow today – putting the world economy on an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable path towards future growth and recovery."

I believe in what Mr. Brown says and I support him. However, the only thing that I don’t understand – and I believe this is the point where Mr. Brown is failing – is how he plans to make the moves towards a more globalised society.

The main error politicians have made for ages is the fact that they say: oh! we will do this, this and that! But they never say how they plan to do, and what will be taken in consideration while doing it.
