"The basic idea was to improve prioritization of the numerous problems the world faces, by gathering some of the world's greatest economists to a meeting where some of the biggest challenges in the world would be assessed.
The unique approach was to use an expert panel to make a ranking of various economic estimates of opportunities that would meet these challenges. Thorough challenge papers were commissioned from leading specialists - the challenge paper authors - for each challenge."
The priority list:

Hmmm, a depressing read.

the salon article is less hyperbolic and takes longer to read, but I think it's a lot more clearheaded & balanced than most other accounts I've read
that eyewitness account is understandably angry and seems hard to contest, especially when you read the guardian's 'china is being scapegoated' rejoinder editorial -- which doesn't really come up with much to say in China's defense at all.

So fuckin' pissed at China, even before reading that article. I'm not saying they're entirely to blame, I'm just saying I'm disappointed at their negotiating "skills" the most, among others.

That idiotic Guardian "defense" belongs on pg. 19 of a Timeout issue.
