Clinton Global Initiative

By Callimachus | Related entries in Ideas, In The News, The World

Hurricane survivors begin to pick through the gunk that fills their homes to find what can be saved. For news junkies, we’ll spend the next few months picking through the gunk of hurricane coverage to find journalistic nuggets of September 2005 that got buried by storm stories.

Marc at American Future calls attention to one: The Clinton Global Initiative.

On September 15, the three-day inaugural meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative opened. It’s star-studded list of attendees covered a broad ideological spectrum …. The goal of the Initiative the Clinton Global Initiative is to provide discussion and debate on four of our “most pressingâ€Â? global challenges:

The Escape from Poverty: Forging a New Deal Between the Developed and Developing World

Religion, Conflict and Reconciliation

Climate Change: Business Opportunity, Business Challenge

Governance, Enterprise and Investment

He thinks it’s worth watching. I hope it’s more than just photo ops and position papers.

And frankly, in the wake of the hurricanes, the list of global challenges looks awfully like the list of domestic challenges.

[P.S.: Congratulations to Justin's girlfriend for passing the Missouri bar. I watched my sister go through that in Delaware, so I know what a nerve-wracker it can be for all involved. Personally, I have yet to pass a Pennsylvania bar without going in. Yuk yuk.]

    Just to let you know, I found your blog, or website if you prefer, through http://www.google.com. Some of the search words I employed were “Clinton” and “blog”.

    Anyway, upon visiting your little nook in the vast galaxy of the Internet, I surmised you’d welcome some insight concerning President William Jefferson Clinton.

    I, for one, can be easily persuaded that President Clinton introduced … ah, maybe not in so many words … “evolutionary economics”. Acting within the constraints, imposed by this new economic discipline, the man made possible the hope that the nation’s national debt could be discharged.
