The Free-Trade Miracle

Published by Project Syndicate

Global free trade provides the greatest opportunity to improve human welfare over the next decade and a half. It has already helped lift more than a billion people out of poverty over the past quarter-century. Lowering trade barriers even more could double average incomes in the poorest parts of the world over the next 15 years.

Yes, there are costs to free trade that must be better addressed; but the costs are vastly outweighed by the benefits. Yet, in rich countries today, the mood has turned against free trade. That is a tragedy.

El milagro del libre comercio

Published by Project Syndicate

El libre comercio internacional es la oportunidad más grande de mejorar el bienestar humano en la próxima década y media. Ya ayudó a sacar de la pobreza a más de mil millones de personas en el último cuarto de siglo. Y en los próximos quince años, reducir más las barreras al comercio puede duplicar el ingreso medio de las regiones más pobres del mundo.

Sí, el libre comercio conlleva costos que hay que encarar mejor; pero son ampliamente superados por los beneficios. Sin embargo, en los países ricos, hoy los ánimos están en su contra. Es trágico que así sea.

Wunderbarer Freihandel

Published by Project Syndicate

Der globale Freihandel bietet die größte Chance, das Gemeinwohl in den nächsten anderthalb Jahrzehnten zu steigern. Er hat bereits dazu beigetragen, während des vergangenen Vierteljahrhunderts mehr als eine Milliarde Menschen aus der Armut zu heben. Eine weitere Senkung der Handelsbarrieren könnte die Durchschnittseinkommen in den ärmsten Teilen der Welt in den nächsten 15 Jahren mehr als verdoppeln.

Zázrak volného obchodu

Published by Project Syndicate

Největší příležitost zlepšit během příští dekády a půl blahobyt lidí představuje globální volný obchod. V průběhu uplynulého čtvrtstoletí už pomohl vyzvednout z chudoby víc než miliardu lidí. Další snížení obchodních bariér by v nejchudších částech světa ještě během příštích 15 let mohlo zdvojnásobit průměrné příjmy.

Ano, volný obchod má určité náklady, s nimiž je třeba se vypořádat; nad těmito náklady ale ohromně převažují přínosy. Přesto se dnes nálada v bohatých zemích otočila proti volnému obchodu. To je tragédie.

Debate on poverty eradication

Published by The Daily Star

The project 'Bangladesh Priorities' set out to have a conversation on what is best for Bangladesh. In that spirit, I welcome the commentary from Nick Beresford of UNDP Bangladesh on September 29. His concerns merit a considered response.

Wielka Brytania ma teraz swobodę szczelinowania i obniżenia rachunków za energię

Published by isty z naszego sadu

W tym tygodniu szalała debata o tym, czy umowa o budowie nowej elektrowni atomowej w Hinkley Point jest dobra. Jest jednak inny żywotny element polityki energetycznej, o którym się nie mówi. Bowiem jedną z kluczowych korzyści opuszczenia Unii Europejskiej jest to, że Wielka Brytania nie będzie już musiała podporządkować się nadmiernie restrykcyjnym regulacjom wydobywania gazu łupkowego lub szczelinowania, co ma potencjał radykalnego przekształcenia rynku energetycznego.

About Those Non-Disappearing Pacific Islands

Published by The Wall Street Journal

Once a year or so, journalists from major news outlets travel to the Marshall Islands, a remote chain of volcanic islands and coral atolls in the Pacific Ocean, to report in panicked tones that the island nation is vanishing because of climate change. Their dispatches are often filled with raw emotion and suggest that residents are fleeing atolls swiftly sinking into the sea.

Sustainable Development Goals – Are There too Many?

Published by BBC More or Less

It is now a year since the UN set its new Sustainable Development Goals to try to make the world a better place. They include 17 goals and a massive 169 targets on subjects like disease, education and governance. But some people like Bjorn Lomborg are saying that there are just too many and they are too broad, and left like that will never achieve anything. Is he right? Is there a better way to make the world better and stop some countries lagging behind?
