 Vittorio,

I’m on holiday, so my answer will be brief. 

You excerpted part of my message and used it to build a straw man. I’ll happily engage in discussion if you reply to the whole message. 

Regards,


P.S.  regarding global public goods, your response leads me to believe you either misunderstand the term, or are contesting a fair slice of academic work supporting it. Which is it?

Who gave you this right and this role, and how is this compatible with democracy?
