[Howard Dean at 01:40]: “What we need is a long term global vision tackling global imbalances. Free market globalization, alone, cannot achieve Social Justice. What the world needs is a global New Deal. In a globalized world, no single nation can shape the future for its people. Recovery will be faster and stronger if we work together.
“And when we talk about the crisis, let’s not forget the environment. The transition to a low-carbon economy will need a major transformation in the patterns of production and consumption. It will require large-scale investments, mechanisms to share the costs, policies, and to ensure Social Justice in this transition.”
