They're called mega-regions, were born under the illumination of night, and a prominent social theorist has us living in the second largest one on Earth, said an article in the Foster's Daily Democrat (NH) and Laconia Citizen (NH) on August 31. New Hampshire and Maine — from Portland south — are considered the "northern edge" of the 500-mile Boston-Washington, D.C., corridor that Richard Florida , author and professor at the University of Toronto's Joseph L. Rotman School of Management, has found generates $2.2 trillion in economic activity. For context, $2.2 trillion is larger than all but two economies as measured by national boundaries — the United States and Japan — Florida wrote in a research paper. "That Eastern Seaboard of the United States is really the economic powerhouse," fueled by the technology industry, said Steven Pedigo, who analyzes economic and consumer trends for Florida's Creative Class Group. The mega-region concept has the potential to change the way regions, let alone nations, shape policy and size up global competition, Pedigo said. Instead of the United States competing with entire countries like China or India, the focus should be on the countries' economic centers, he said. ...

The situation had reached such a level of sensitivity that just the fact that an investment bank like Morgan Stanley forecasted on June 06, 2008 that the oil price would reach $150 a barrel in a month time was enough to produce an increase of more than $10 in a few hours.%26gt;%26gt; ...

A personal view from the UNDP   Kemal Derviş heads the United Nations Development Programme, the UNDP. On 12 June he gave a keynote address to the Institute for International Finance-Ditchley Conference in Italy. It is striking for its bold sweep and, in these turbulent times, for presenting an integrated picture that assesses the impact of the credit crunch within a global framework that includes technical innovation and the impact of the developing economies. To briefly summarise his important argument, Derviş is optimistic in the medium to long run for five major reasons: Technology and relative peace put us in a historical period of high potential for material growth Catch-up growth, especially in Asia, will lift millions out of poverty; because of emerging Asia and other Middle Income Countries' high national savings and investment rates, the global investment rate is rising. Keynesian demand management has avoided the worst of the depressive phases of our "bi-polar" Economy Scarcity is pushing commodity prices up, but we can continue to improve material well-being even with carbon properly costed Stable and sustainable World growth requires huge material transfers around the World--from oil producers to post-industrial debtors; from energy reducing to energy intensifying economies that require legitimate and properly functioning international institutions. Here are jump leads to its main sections: Tony Curzon-Price, Editor-i ...

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina _ The U.S. credit crisis has not hit bottom and World food prices have not yet peaked, making continued financial volatility likely in the midterm, central bankers and international economists said Monday.It`s likely that the market adjustment process will continue for a considerable period of time and there is significant uncertainty about its impact on the Economy, European Central Bank vice-president Lucas Papademos told a Buenos Aires forum that drew experts from more than 30 countries.Trade and investment flows have linked World economies, allowing U.S. economic troubles to spread and dashing hopes of the financial decoupling some thought would protect emerging economies, U.S. Federal Reserve Board governor Randall Kroszner said.More than $500 billion in sub-prime related losses by many of the World`s biggest banks is drying up credit and slowing growth, prompting policy makers to cut interest rates in a bid to boost economic activity. But rising food and energy prices also are driving inflation worldwide _ making those interest rate cuts increasingly complicated.Turkey`s Central Bank president Durmus Yilmaz said he expected food prices to keep climbing for the rest of the year, as increased food production fails to keep pace with swelling demand from China and India. Food price hikes accounted for 70 per cent of all inflation in Turkey last year, up from just 10 per cent in 2006, Yilmaz said.In Argent ...
