Eliminating world poverty: making governance work for the poor (3)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Dear all,

I love every word of what David Woodward has written. It is very true. We need to change the world order.

Many of my friends in this forum may accuse me of saying the same thing again and again. But even at the cost of rebuke and redundancy, I would like to quote what I had posted sometime back in many forums on the topic of alleviating world poverty, as follows:

"I believe, poverty can be truly eliminated and all round peace created, only when there is total transparency and accountability - of individuals, organizations, nations. and international aid agencies.

For this to happen, we need to make all transactions, transparent on the web of every individual, organization and nation. There must be no secrecy and hidden agenda.

With this, the world would become more open to public audit. The urge to indulge in nefarious activities would be reduced, to the point of being eliminated, over time. Inequalities would be eliminated and a level playing field created, with equality of opportunity.

Terrorism, whether individual sponsored or group sponsored or state sponsored, would vanish.

Towards this, currency circulation must be banned and all transactions must be made through a single genuine bank account of every individual and organization.

Any surplus wealth or ill gotten wealth must be transferred to the public. Self-administration, of communities, is better than government control. Every citizen must contribute their mite and get assured in return, with minimum food, clothing and shelter so that the word poverty is removed from our dictionaries and our lives too!!.

Localization should be the mantra and not globalization, which is more to favour the rich west and north at the cost of poor east and south.
