Romanticism Should Guide the G20
Richard Bronk, Author | March 23, 2009
Romanticism has something to say in the upcoming G20 meeting concerning the "limits of universal rationalist solutions." ++ While globalization demands co-ordinated responses, national or perhaps regional solutions might be effective as "only nation states (and to some extent the EU) have the democratic legitimacy to make the value trade-offs central to most important policy decisions." ++ The current crisis demands a new moral framework for markets, but such new morality is not to be found on the global level.
