"Mr President, behind one Martinez lurks another! After half a century of development aid, international rock concerts, debt relief, fair trade and rather hypocritical tears from somewhat self-righteous white men, Africa is still locked in poverty. So, what are we to do? Firstly, we must declare water, education, health and food to be global public goods. Secondly, we must guarantee access to these goods by means of four global public services. Thirdly, we must entrust the management of these services to an economic security council analogous to the United Nations Security Council. Fourthly, we must provide them with resources by levying VAT on the services provided by geostationary satellites. Fifthly, and finally, we must enable Africa to use the same means that all western countries have used to develop, namely tariff protection, but smart tariff protection this time, in the form of reimbursable customs duties. Mr President, I give you a present of three seconds!"@en1
