"In 1995, I co-organized the NGO, Global Commission to Fund the United
Nations with many proposals for taxing commercial uses of the global
commons: atmosphere, climate, oceans, biodiversity, the electromagnetic
spectrum, space and the newest commons: the global financial system.
The Commission�s report The UN: Policy and Financing Alternatives, eds.
Harlan Cleveland, Hazel Henderson and Inge Kaul (Elsevier Science 1995),
examined such taxes to help provide global public goods: health,
education, access to clean water, food and basic human needs"<br><br>I'm very interested in pushing this back on the agenda ... is there any way to have access to the full electonic text of that document, and any of your own explanatory writings on the topic?<br>
