Voice and Noise

Voice and Noise is a very personal one-man brainstorm about many of the current issues relevant to our globalized world, written by a former Executive Director at the World Bank. Using articles he published in the Venezuelan press as well as informal memos through which he communicated with his colleagues, the author, writing from the perspective of a radical extreme of the center of the middle, he tries to foster a more creative debate and inspire a more optimistic outlook about the future. He stands in active opposition to the worldwide trend toward imposing ideas from only one or the other of the extremes of the political spectrum. His explicit goal is to help sketch some new spacious gateways to the future, as an alternative to the narrow escape hatches which he feels are currently being designed.
