5、sts. Much of the poorer world is in turmoil, caught in a vicious circle of disease, poverty and political instability. Large-scale financial and scientific help from the rich nations is an investment worth making, not only for humanitarian reasons, but also because even remote countries in turmoil b
6、ecome outposts of disorder for the rest of the world. The biggest priority of next weeks Genoa Summit should be for the rich countries, above all the United States, to get serious about contributing to global economic development. The principal goal of foreign policy is now almost containments oppos
7、ite: helping to ensure that all parts of the world, including the poorest, are integrated into global economic and ecological networks in mutually beneficial ways. Unfortunately, American presidents in recent times have not acknowledged that this goal requires massive foreign-policy investments. Ame
8、ricas foreign aid is 0.1% of GDP, a derisory shadow of what it used to be, and roughly one-third of the European level. Following Americas lead, most of the large economies have allowed their own foreign-assistance programmes to shrink since the end of the cold war. Even when the United States reape
9、d a peace dividend of more than 2% of GDP in reduced defence spending after 1990, it cut, rather than increased, foreign-assistance spending as a share of national income. Part 2 The Bush administration and Congress must find their way to a renewal of American foreign policy and the sensible interna
10、tional investments that will be needed to back it up. The presidents core team knows the world and its risks. Last years Meltzer Commission, on which I served, demonstrated that there could be a bipartisan consensus on the need for much more American help for the poorest countries. The new chairman
11、of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Joseph Biden, is ideally suited by knowledge and temperament to help lead a bipartisan foreign-policy effort with the Bush administration. Here are some guidelines for investing in foreign policy in todays global economy. First, we must identify the areas w
12、here money can really make a difference. Keenest attention should be paid to the worlds poorest regions, the ones most likely to fall prey to the vicious circle of poverty, disease and state collapse. Remarkably, only around one-sixth of American aid is currently directed to the 48 least-developed c
13、ountries, most of which are in Africa. Help for these countries should come in two ways: as direct support for national programmes to fight disease, malnutrition and illiteracy, when those programmes make sense and are honestly administered; and through programmes to develop new technologies to over
14、come barriers to long-term economic development. Second, the United States should end its decade-long war against the United Nations agencies. Specialised organisations such as the World Health Organisation, the Food and Agriculture Organization, the Consultative Group on International Agricultural
15、Research, UNAIDS and the United Nations Development Programme need to be bolstered with more money and administrative reforms, not squeezed financially to the point of collapse. These agencies would be greatly strengthened by closer and properly financed links with Americas own top-rank institutions
16、, such as the National Institutes of Health and the Centres for Disease Control. Third, and surely most important, the Bush administration must explain to Americans that a big increase in budgetary outlays on behalf of economic development in the worlds poorest and most unstable regions is an invest
17、ment in core American interests and values. All serious professional estimates show that the fight against AIDS in the developing countries will require at least $ 2 billion-3 billion a year from the United States government for the global fund-rather more than the $ 200 million so far promised. Ext
18、ernal assistance for Africa will require not the current miserly $ 1 billion from America, but a several-fold increase, if profound problems have a chance of being overcome. Sub-Saharan Africa, neglected by the United States, has routinely received a sum equivalent to around one-sixth of the America
19、n aid given to the Middle East. Part 3 Fifty years ago a soldier-statesman, General George Marshall, then secretary of state, explained to Americans that urgent financial support for Europe would stabilize societies destroyed by the second world war and the post-war economic crises. Such aid would u
20、nleash Europes potential for recovery to everyones mutual benefit. His vision was exactly on the mark. Winston Churchill called the resulting Marshall Plan “the most unsordid act in history“. The United States once again has a soldier-statesman, Colin Powell, as secretary of state. A new Powell Plan
21、 to mobilize American technology and finances, both public and private, on behalf of the economic development of the worlds poor countries would be a fitting follow-up to the Marshall Plan. The world, and America, would be enormously safer and more prosperous as a Result. Questions 31 - 33 Below is

Mr. Baumol reckons they have been forced by competition to focus on innovation as part of normal corporate activity. Rather than trying to make money from science,
