Do you think the establishment of the NDB is the first step towards the end of the Bretton Woods system, as established at the end of the World War II?

Assignment:
World Bank’s history has been associated with the development of the Third World. But development is not limited to the third world. The economic crisis in the US and the Euro zone show that lessons of development – just like principles of sound economics – apply equally to all countries. There is an emergent need to develop an infrastructure for a world beyond aid. To do so, Zoellick argues that the world still needs the World Bank.
Do you think the establishment of the NDB is the first step towards the end of the Bretton Woods system, as established at the end of the World War II?
Will the NDB win more members from the developing world and be in a position to challenge the hegemony of the World Bank and the Bretton Wood system?
Read the two divergent thoughts and formulate your opinion.

Will the further development of global financial markets and monetary transactions ultimately lead us to having one large, unified marketplace and currency?

Technology and Globalization
Technology is one of the major influences on the trend toward globalization. Many benefits have come from information technology, such as improved access to healthcare, education, news and media, and government accountability. It has brought people from all over the world closer through social networking sites, blogging, Skype, and other forms of Internet communication. However, there are potential issues and consequences with this. Is this trend yet another one that divides the “haves” from the “have-nots,” by creating a larger digital divide? Will it ultimately hurt developing nations more than it helps them? Will the further development of global financial markets and monetary transactions ultimately lead us to having one large, unified marketplace and currency? What are the possible implications of this? These are all questions to consider as technology rapidly sweeps us in the direction of further globalization.
