An Economic and Social Security Council at the United Nations

Abstract

The founders of the UN created no effective institutions for world economic and social governance, nor for protecting the poor at a world level. They are needed because: neither markets nor national governments fully take into account what happens beyond their borders - for example pollution of the ozone layer, or the effect of interest rate policy in one country on capital flows elsewhere; some activities cannot be controlled nationally: for example international movements of labour and capital, which governments may wish to regulate or tax; there are worldwide agreements that extreme poverty should be ended, and yet many governments lack the resources, or power, or will to act.
