The most daunting challenges particularly for President Obama include limiting manufacturing and coal producing industries at a time of economic recession, as well as holding other large developing and greenhouse-gas producing nations to high emissions standards. Now, a group of progressives have addressed these seemingly intractable problems in a new paper called Green Paper Gold. Tim Costello, Jeremy Brecher, and Brendan Smith are the co-founders of Global Labor Strategies. According to them, the twin crises of economy and climate change can be solved together by harnessing a global currency to create jobs and fight global warming. The idea of using so-called &#8220;Special Drawing Rights&#8221; as a form of global money has been pushed by Nobel laureate and former World Bank chief economist Joseph Stiglitz. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Jeremy Brecher, one of the co-founders of Global Labor Strategies, and a historian and author of several books including &#8220;Strike!, Globalization from Below&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Read Brecher&#8217;s article at <a href=\"http:\/\/fpif.org\/fpiftxt\/5759\">http:\/\/fpif.org\/fpiftxt\/5759<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program A bill addressing solutions for climate change recently passed the House of Representatives, but is facing a serious battle in the Senate.
