“On Sept. 25 the annual jamboree of presidents, potentates, and assorted world leaders will take place in New York, as the 67th debate session of the United Nations General Assembly is called to order. Accompanying the usual podium speeches will be the start of backroom discussions as to what will replace the Millennium Development Goals, a set of targets for global progress agreed to at the 2000 General Assembly meetings. This time the process and the targets should better reflect popular opinion worldwide—and give both jobs and economic opportunity far higher billing.”
