 | | It is unclear, for example, how many of the world's 6.5 billion people have most of their economic activity reflected in these valuations. | | | The U.S. economy continued its remarkable sustained prosperity, growing at 4.1% in 1999, and accounted for 21% of GWP. | | | Rather, market valuations in a local currency are typically translated to a single monetary unit using the idea of purchasing power. |

| | One is the proliferation of financial assets that is associated with heightened financial instability and with declining rates of fixed investment in both rich and poor countries. | | | It is the world economy which, at any rate, creates price uniformity over a vast area." On the beaches of the world economy ocean, it is useless to build Chinese walls against important differences in price and cost. | | | The fruits of turmoil are already visible in the Third World debts, the market crashes last year, the U.S.' indebtedness due to trade and government deficits, the banking problems in Texas and in the "thrifts". |

| | Even more novel is that what is emerging is not one but four world economies: a world economy of information; of money; of multinationals (one no longer dominated by American enterprises); and a mercantilist world economy of goods, services and trade. | | | The government deficit is therefore being financed almost in its entirety by foreign investments in the United States, mostly in government securities like short-term treasury notes and medium-term bonds. | | | For instance, the EU is seeking to export its regulations (and to impose its high regulatory costs on the United States) through international agreements, the reinterpretation of WTO rules, and the growing acceptance of EU standards in third markets. |

| | Now the richest 20 percent of the world's population receives 83% of the world's income, while the poorest 60% of the world's people receive just 5.6% of the world's income. | | | Over the past 30 years the globalization of the economy--led by the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and transnational corporations--has proceeded at a quickening pace. | | | The real function of institutions such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and transnational corporations is not to promote "development" but rather to integrate the ruling elites of third world countries into the global system of rewards and punishments. |

| | The Future of the World Economy - Mises Institute |
| | For the world economy as a whole, we should in the short-term outlook expect the current boom to continue but at the price of aggravating the global economic imbalances. | | | And since the economy recovered from the recession, the build-up in debt levels have of course continued to increase. | | | But while corporate balance sheets have been repaired as a result of a sharp decline in business investments and record corporate profits, households have been on an unprecedented spending spree, households are more indebted than ever and saving even less than 5 years ago. |

| | In turn in the core regions, many of the rural inhabitants, increasingly landless and forced to work as wage laborers, at least initially saw a relative decline in their standard of living and in the security of their income. | | | Perhaps most important is that when one examines the dynamics of this system, the core regions of northwestern Europe clearly benefited the most from this arrangement. | | | Through extremely high profits gained from international trade and from an exchange of manufactured goods for raw materials from the periphery (and, to a lesser extent, from the semi-peripheries), the core enriched itself at the expense of the peripheral economies. |

| | The deficit reached $374 billion last year, a record in dollar terms but not as a share of the total economy, and it is expected to exceed $400 billion this year. | | | Administration officials have made it clear they are not worried about the the United States' burgeoning external debt or the declining value of the dollar, which has lost nearly one-fifth of its value against the euro in 18 months and which hit new lows earlier this week. | | | The dangers, according to the report, are that the United States' voracious appetite for borrowing could push up global interest rates and thus slow down global investment and economic growth. |
