This document summarizes some prominent, innovative proposals generated by the GES 2008. The proposals achieved sizable agreement from the GES panelists and the wider GES community – although there were naturally dissenting voices, which are also given a hearing here. The proposals aim to provide shared visions of the future, which are meant to inspire cooperative efforts to address global problems. Where possible, they are also meant to be practical, feasible actions towards well-defined goals.
The Symposium is divided into themes and each theme covers several symposium sessions. Each session of the GES deals with a problem that is relevant to the policy, business, academic, and civic communities and generates strategic responses to that problem.
“Take Germany’s most renowned economics institute, add one of the country’s most beautiful spots, Lake Ploen, and you get the Global Economic Symposium, a gathering of first-rate minds that will soon become a global household term.”
