The Brandt Equation: 21st Century Blueprint for the New Global Economy


"A new century nears, and with it the prospects of a new civilization. Could we not begin to lay the basis for that new community with reasonable relations among all people and nations, and to build a world in which sharing, justice, freedom and peace might prevail?"
– Willy Brandt, 1983

This Report Card provides a synopsis of progress in key areas of global development since the release of the Brandt Commission reports in 1980. A complete analysis containing practical solutions to the present world crisis is available in The Brandt Equation: A 21st Century Blueprint for the New Global Economy.

Two decades ago, the Brandt Commission reports, North-South and Common Crisis offered the international community a forward-looking plan for balancing the creation of wealth with the provision of public goods and the preservation of the environment.

The Brandt Equation reintroduces the Brandt Commission's vision for a sustainable global economy, stressing that the fortunes of global society are more encompassing than the fortunes of any individual, group or nation. It calls for a full-scale reordering of global priorities to meet humanity's interrelated economic problems and development needs. It is a blueprint for the 21st century economy.
