By Andrew Trotman <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/journalists/andrew-trotman/> 5:14PM GMT 10 Feb 2011 “Global imbalances are back, with issues that worried us before the crisis - large and volatile capital flows, exchange rate pressures, rapidly growing excess reserves - on the front burner once again,” Dominique Strauss-Kahn<http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/dominique-strauss-kahn/> said. “Left unresolved, these problems could even sow the seeds of the next crisis.” “When we worry about the deficiencies of the international monetary system, we are mostly worrying about volatility,” he added. There is “a sense that money sometimes flows around the globe in too-volatile a fashion and that countries need a more stable, more predictable external environment in order to prosper”, he said. He suggested adding emerging market countries' currencies, such as the yuan, to a basket of currencies that the IMF administers could add stability to the global system. China, which holds much of its $2.85 trillion mountain of reserves in US Treasury bonds, has repeatedly expressed unease about the value of the dollar, while American politicians have complained that Beijing gains an unfair advantage by keeping its own currency cheap. Strauss-Kahn saw a greater role for the IMF's Special Drawing Rights, which is currently composed of the dollar, sterling, euro and yen, over time but said it will take a great deal of international cooperation to make that work. "Using the SDR to price global trade and denominate financial assets would provide a buffer from exchange rate volatility," Strauss-Kahn said, while "issuing SDR-denominated bonds could create a potentially new class of reserve assets". Russian President Dmitry Medvedev last month said the currencies of Brazil, Russia, India and China should be included in the SDR valuation basket. The same month, Sarkozy said that the yuan should be included, and US President Barack Obama’s administration said it supports such a transition “over time”. However, among the yuan's drawbacks is that it is not freely traded and China's capital markets are largely closed. Strauss-Kahn said: "Increasing the role of the SDR would clearly require a major leap in international policy coordination. For this reason, I expect the global reserve asset system to evolve only gradually, and along with changes in the global economy." Strauss-Kahn's views come a week before finance ministers from the Group of 20 developed and developing nations meet in Paris to discuss proposals by French president Nicolas Sarkozy for changes to global economic governance. -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens

The protest was organised through web-based social networks without the involvement of any major unions or political parties. At the end of the march some people decided to stay the night at the Plaza del Sol in Madrid. They were forcefully evacuated by the police in the early hours of the morning. This, in turn, generated a mass call for everyone to occupy his or her local squares that thousands all over Spain took up. As we write, 65 public squares are being occupied, with support protests taking place in Spanish Embassies from Buenos Aires to Vienna and, indeed, London. You probably have not have read about it in the British press, but it is certainly happening. Try *#spanishrevolution*, #*yeswecamp,#nonosvamos*or #* acampadasol*on Twitter and see for yourself. What follows is a text by Emmanuel Rodr?guez and Tom?s Herreros from the Spanish collective*Universidad N?mada. *IT?S THE REAL DEMOCRACY, STUPID* *15**TH**May, from Outrage to Hope* There is no doubt that Sunday 15thMay 2011 has come to mark a turning point: from the web to the street, from conversations around the kitchen table to mass mobilisations, but more than anything else, from outrage to hope. Tens of thousands of people, ordinary citizens responding to a call that started and spread on the internet, have taken the streets with a clear and promising demand: they want a real democracy, a democracy no longer tailored to the greed of the few, but to the needs of the people. They have been unequivocal in their denunciation of a political class that, since the beginning of the crisis, has run the country by turning away from them and obeying the dictates of the euphemistically called ?markets?. We will have to watch over the next weeks and months to see how this demand for *real democracy now*takes shape and develops. But everything seems to point to a movement that will grow even stronger. The clearest sign of its future strength comes from the taking over of public squares and the impromptu camping sites that have appeared in pretty much every major Spanish town and city. Today??four days after the first march??social networks are bursting with support for the movement, a virtual support that is bolstered by its resonance in the streets and squares. While forecasting where this will take us is still too difficult, it is already possible to advance some questions thatthis movementhas put on the table. Firstly, the criticisms that have been raised by the 15thMay Movement are spot on. A growing sector of the population is outraged by parliamentary politics as we have come to known them, as our political parties are implementing it today??by making the weakest sectors of society pay for the crisis. In the last few years we have witnessed with a growing sense of disbelief how the big banks received millions in bail-outs, while cuts in social provision, brutal assaults on basic rights and covert privatisations ate away at an already skeletal Spanish welfare state. Today, none doubts that these politics are a danger to our present and our immediate future. This outrage is made even more explicit when it is confronted by the cowardice of politicians, unable to put an end to the rule of the financial world. Where did all those promises to give capitalism a human face made in the wake of the sub-prime crisis go? What happened to the idea of abolishing tax havens? What became of the proclamation that the financial system would be brought under control? What of the plans to tax speculative gains and the promise to stop tax benefits for the highest earners? Secondly, the 15thMay Movement is a lot more than a warning to the so-called Left. It is possible (in fact it is quite probable) that on 22ndMay, when local and regional elections take place in Spain, the left will suffer a catastrophic defeat. If that were the case, it would be only be a preamble to what would happen in the general elections. What can be said today without hesitation is that the institutional left (parties and major unions) is the target of a generalised political disaffection due to its sheer inability come up with novel solutions to this crisis. This is where the two-fold explanation of its predicted electoral defeat lies. On the one hand, its policies are unable to step outside a completely tendentious way of reading the crisis that, to this day, accepts that the problem lies in the scarcity of our resources. Let?s say it loud and clear: no such a problem exists, there is no lack of resources, the real problem is the extremely uneven way in which wealth is distributed, and financial ?discipline? is making this problem even more acute every passing day. Where are the infinite benefits of the real estate bubble today? Where are the returns of such ridiculous projects as the airports in Castell?n or Lleida, to name but a few? Who is benefiting from the gigantic mountain of debt crippling so many families and individuals? The institutional left has been unable to stand on the side of, and work with, the many emerging movements that are calling for freedom and democracy. Who can forgive Zapatero?s words when the proposal to accept the *daci?n de pago*1<#13009270aa1ab38e_sdfootnote1sym>was rejected by parliament on the basis that it could ?jeopardise the solvency of the Spanish financial system?? Who was he addressing with these words? The millions of people enslaved by their mortgages or the interests of major banks? And what can we say of their indecent law of intellectual property, the infamous Ley Sinde? Was he standing with those who have given shape to the web or with those who plan to make money out of it, as if culture was just another commodity? If the institutional left continues to ignore social movements, if it refuses to break away from a script written by the financial and economic elites and fails to come out with a plan B that could lead us out of the crisis, it will stay in opposition for a very long time. There is no time for more deferrals: either they change or they will lose whatever social legitimation they still have to represent the values they claim to stand for. Thirdly, the 15thMay Movement reveals that far from being the passive agents that so many analysts take them to be, citizens have been able to organise themselves in the midst of a profound crisis of political representation and institutional abandonment. The new generations have learnt how to shape the web, creating new ways of ?being together?, without taking recourse to ideological clich?s, armed with a savvy pragmatism, escaping from pre-conceived political categories and big bureaucratic apparatuses. We are witnessing the emergence of new ?majority minorities? that demand democracy in the face of a war ?of all against all? and the idiotic atomisation promoted by neoliberalism, one that demands social rights against the logic of privatisation and cuts imposed by the economical powers. And it is quite possible that at this juncture old political goals will be of little or no use. Hoping for an impossible return to the fold of Estate, or aiming for full employment??like the whole spectrum of the Spanish parliamentary left seems to be doing??is a pointless task. Reinventing democracy requires, at the very least, pointing to new ways of distributing wealth, to citizenship rights for all regardless of where they were born (something in keeping with this globalised times), to the defence of common goods (environmental resources, yes, but also knowledge, education, the internet and health) and to different forms of self-governance that can leave behind the corruption of current ones. Finally, it is important to remember that the 15thMay Movement is linked to a wider current of European protests triggered as a reaction to so-called ?austerity? measures. These protests are shaking up the desert of the real, leaving behind the image of a formless and silent mass of European citizens that so befits the interests of political and economical elites. We are talking here of campaigns like the British *UKUncut*against Cameron?s policies, of the mass mobilisations of *Gera?ao a Rasca*in Portugal, or indeed of what took place in Iceland after the people decided not to bail out the bankers. And, of course, inspiration is found above all in the Arab Uprising, the democratic revolts in Egypt and Tunisia who managed to overthrow their corrupt leaders You have 644 new notifications<http://www.facebook.com/n/?home.php&mid=4426ef3G1f7c632bGeae3597G0&bcode=ec…>.

Fwd: Death of Email has been Severely Exaggerated - Summation
by Michel Bauwens 21 May '11

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Auren Hoffman Summation <auren(a)summation.net> Date: Thu, May 19, 2011 at 12:49 AM Subject: Death of Email has been Severely Exaggerated - Summation To: michelsub2004(a)gmail.com Dear Michel, I'd like to tell you a story about email: the communication medium of our time. While many predict its death, email's dominance is not a passing fad: email will be with us for our lifetime. I hope you enjoy... *It is alive! The Death of Email Has Been Severely Exaggerated * It is hard to go to a tech gathering these days and not hear the phrase "email is dead." Everyone says the same thing: "no one is going to use email in the future because my children don't use email." [image: Email-change]<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=x54fkicab&et=1105561498816&s=7682&e=0015jj_QT…>Saying email is dead is rational, understandable, and ... dead wrong. Email is here to stay and it is only going to get more, not less, critical to our lives. First the facts: People spent more time in email in 2010 than any prior year. The next biggest year was 2009. The next biggest was 2008. And so on. And 2011 will certainly be the biggest year for email ever. We are still on a rising trend as mobile devices are accelerating the growth of email. The best proof of email's continued ascendency is all the profit companies are making from it. Given email is an old technology, it is incredible that there are hundreds of companies that make over $50 MM/year just selling email deliverability services. The Email Service Provider (ESP) space has been growing by 30% per year over the last several years. Companies like ConstantContact (NASDAQ: CTCT), Responsys (NASDAQ: MKTG), ExactTarget, MailChimp, VerticalResponse, Blue Sky Factory, iContact, Cheetahmail, Datran's Stormpost, e-Dialog, Silverpop, Sendgrid, YesMail, Eloqua, and hundreds of others are providing the ability to send billions of emails for millions of businesses. [image: Email-logos]<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=x54fkicab&et=1105561498816&s=7682&e=0015jj_QT…>While social media gets all the hype, the combined revenues of all the social media marketers pale in comparison to the boring email companies. And look how email has revolutionized industries. Gilt Groupe - an email list for fashion items - now has a higher valuation than some of the most well known retail brands. GroupOn has revolutionized services by sending them out to deal-seeking consumers via email. And organizations like MoveOn have galvanized hard-core supporters through the simple use of an email list. Even traditional retailers have massively benefitted from email. Companies like the GAP, 1800Flowers, Buy.com, and others generate a huge amount of their revenue (and a larger amount of profit) from emailing their customers and letting them know about special offers and new products. Email marketing is expected to be the top area of investment spending among marketers in 2011. Email drives more revenue than any other medium (even mediums like TV). And email is almost certainly the highest ROI center in marketing. The power of email is that it is asynchronous (the recipient can read it whenever they want), it can be personalized to the user (unlike a Twitter post where everyone reads the same message), it is inexpensive to send (unlike direct mail), free to receive (unlike SMS), it is very trackable, and it is easy to access for almost every American with a wallet. Some definitions: Facebook wall posts aren't email (they are visible to everyone) but Facebook messages are (they are sent to only a small number of people). While IM is not email because it is meant as a synchronous means of communication, SMSs might become just another form of email (though it will likely continue to have a higher cost). [image: Too_Much_Mail]<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=x54fkicab&et=1105561498816&s=7682&e=0015jj_QT…>All of us are overwhelmed by our inbox. But information n overload is not confined to email: we're becoming overloaded with our newsfeed, tweets, LinkedIn stream, SMS messages, RSS feed, and the dozens of other sources being thrown at us every week. There will be more tools in the future to make the experience of using and managing email more enjoyable and more productive ... and because of that, I don't expect to email usage to peak for at least another 15-20 years. None of this means email will stay the same. It won't. Email is already getting more social, more filterable, more actionable, and more personalized. We'll see some great strides in email in the coming years and it will continue to evolve and become more important in our lives.
