COMMENTARY
A New Vision for Globalization
Dani Rodrik
The conundrum of global reform is that the proposals that go far enough, such as establishing a global financial regulator, are wildly unrealistic, while those that are realistic, such as reform of the IMF, fall far short of what is needed. What we need is a vision of globalization that is fully cognizant of its limits.

Esther Dyson
Excitement about electric cars abounds nowadays, but consider the number of existing gasoline-powered cars: about 850 million. It would take years of new-car sales to make a dent in that number, so why not keep the cars but replace their engines?
