The original world problem is economic thought which works for humanity, what we do have are not working for human been but works for parties and certain powers as it seems, at this time there is new humanitarian thought which is :
"The Fourth Way: A Comprehensive Humanitarian Economic System to Save the World" By Canadian author Dr A. Joseph Keryo

Only going by the description, this appears to be another top-down utopian model that creates equality by making the vast majority equally miserable. The UN? The home of "Oil for Food", child trafficking rings catering to the elite, or "peacekeepers" who rape and exploit those they are there to protect? Surely we can look out for the individual without them.

While still a Canadian soldier, I participated in two peacekeeping missions and also traveled extensively around Europe as a NATO soldier, plus served as a Canadian diplomatic attaché in Lebanon, this decades ago. I was also a military intelligence analyst, so I can say that I know a few things about geopolitics and the actual way people live in other countries. All this is to say that every country has its own particular set of problems and popular values and mentality. There is no such thing as 'one shoe fits all'. Doctor Keryo may be an academic and economic expert but he doesn't sound like he truly understands or even perceives the true extent and complexity of this World. As for the United Nations, it is a thoroughly corrupt and incompetent organization which has very few real powers, save for blowing a lot of hot air. I wouldn't count on it to accomplish much of value, especially when you consider how UN peacekeeping missions around the World have basically failed to stop conflicts (Congo, C.A.R., Middle East) while wasting billions of dollars and with a single veto vote enough to paralyze the UN Security Council. Only the real powers on this planet can effect real changes or influence things, but they are too often at logger's heads with each other (look at the humanitarian disaster and military coup in Myanmar, with a veto from China enough to stop the UN from applying sanctions against the junta there). Doctor Keryo's book thus sounds to me like a futile exercise in dreaming in color.
