Bjorn Lomborg y el ranking de los principales retos de la humanidad, ¿preocupaciones equivocadas? Publicado: 09/06/2012

El desempleo, la crisis de la vivienda y la baja calidad de la educación pueden ser los grandes desafíos que enfrentamos en Estados Unidos y otras naciones desarrolladas, pero no son los grandes problemas del mundo actual. ¿Y el calentamiento global?.

COPENHAGEN – If you had $75 billion to spend over the next four years and your goal was to advance human welfare, especially in the developing world, how could you get the most value for your money? That is the question that I posed to a panel of five top economists, including four Nobel laureates, in the Copenhagen Consensus 2012 project. The panel members were chosen for their expertise in prioritization and their ability to use economic principles to compare policy choices.
