Bilderburg 2010

I'm not into the Alex Jones scene, believe me, but Bilderburg always gets me thinking. Based on the leaked attendees list, here is my take on the themes:
  • Debt deflation
  • Spain
  • Greece
  • Turkey
  • Maintaining European competitive advantage against emerging economies
  • Social decline of the west
Think I'm wrong? Then why did Niall Ferguson get the invite, but Krugman didn't? If I was in charge, I would arrange the agenda as follows:
  • Debt deflation
  • Russian integration into the European economy (you know, because the failure to do so allowed WWI to happen)
  • Alternative energy, i.e., anything but Middle Eastern oil
  • Finding buyers for European and American goods, i.e., JOBS!
