Post-War Situation until the 70th

The State is dominant, but business is happy

Globalization has caused …

… the (international) private sector to dominate over the state and public sector.

Tax competition leading to a systematic decrease of corporate tax rates. (OECD figures from: KPMG, 2004, 2)

Corporate Tax Rates in OECD / EU-Countries

Privatization has been predominantly a phenomenon affecting the low income countries.

(Source:Sheshinski/López-Calva, 1999; estimations based on the World Development Indicators)

Public enterprises‘ activity as a percentage of GDP

Private Phones Costlier

Uruguay’s cellular customers benefited from worldwide price reductions, while Argentineans did not. The graph shows the differentiated development.

(Data from ITU, 2003)

Only 1% of all new chemical entities are used for therapeutic innovations on tropical diseases.

(Data from Trouiller et al, 2002, 1188-90)

Underinvestment in Tropical Diseases

Neem Tree Seeds

… in front of the European Patent Office (EPO), Munich Used for centuries in India for pest control and cosmetics, a fungicide made from Neem treeseeds was patented in 1992 by an US-corporation but later revoked.(Source:Petra C. Fleisser)

• It is too late for sustainable development, as that term is commonly understood.

• Negotiating a peaceful, equitable, transition to a much lower footprint will require new technologies, but they are not enough.

• The key problem is short-term thinking• If the planning time horizon can be

extended, many of the governance,social, and ethical problems will be solved more easily.

The role of technical advancements

The resource productivity has to increase by factor 10 in this century

• Increasing Eco-Efficiency / Dematerialisation of the World Economy to a factor of 10 in 50 – 100 years.

• With chronicle increasing synchronism of the Gross National Product (GNP) to a factor of 10 in the same time period

The double factor 10

The Rebound-EffectIncreasing use of materials despite dematerialisation

Which future?

Free trade and deregulation as meta-philosophy

Consequences • Free riding with CO2 emissions • War for water• Even more people dying of starvation• Even more displacement

≈15 %Continuation of a Global Laissez-faire

≈15 %

Recource Dictatorship – rich against poor

Free trade and deregulation as meta-philosophy•Grandfather style solutions •Equal treatment of the Un-equal/no equal chance •„plunderer process“ would be legalised, •where applicable, political achievement •Green card used as form of taking advantage•terror as answer / state counter measures •(State terror as an option)•depredation of the civil freedom•(„Chip in every brain“)

≈50 %

Unequal treatment of unequal starting positionsas a form of true equality of opportunite

• The EU enlargement processes • Montreal Protocol • Co-financing of adaptation of standards• Model of the Marshall Plan after WWII• Sustainability • Global Contract • Global Marshall Plan

Eco-Social Market Economy

≈35 %

Vision

• We are all in the same boat

• Civil Society, Business, Politics, Media, Science, all Religions, Cultures - together we may solve the enormous challenges

• Global collective intelligence may lead to a Global Consciousness

to reach a better world order system

The Global Marshall Plan intends to implement the UN Millennium Development Goals by 2015. Those include:

• Halving the number of people living on less than 1 dollar/ day • Reducing by two thirds the mortality rate among children• all children complete a full course of primary education • Investing in reproductive healthcare • Providing global, public goods, such as:

- Human dignity for all - Worldwide security

Goals of a Global Marshall Plan

MDG 2: Halving the number of people living on less than 1 dollar/ day in 2040

MDG5: Reducing by two thirds the mortality rate among children in Latinamerica in 2010in Asia in 2030in Africa in 2165

MDG-Realisation under todays Conditions

As Financial volume, an additional international allowance of 120 Billion US$ would be needed yearly, over the time period 2008-2015.

≈0,41 % Gross National Product (GNP)

Altogether, this is in addition to the present stand of approximately 980 billion US $

Appropriation Requirements
