Unfortunately for the rest of us, this year's G-8 summit?which marked the first time that leaders of the world's 16 biggest carbon emitters have sat down to talk about climate change???will be remembered as a lost opportunity. First of all, the 2050 pledge doesn't specify a baseline year. European leaders want to bring emissions down to 50% of 1990 levels, but host nation Japan seemed to indicate that it would be happy to use present-day levels. The difference in actual reductions would be enormous. So what appears to be a firm numerical target...
...creative discipline or business, it takes a visionary to effect change???someone to look left when everyone else is looking right. In the worlds of style and design, change can often be subtle and almost imperceptible and yet still have a tremendous impact on our daily lives. Designers, architects, curators, cooks?they can change the shape of a coffee mug, change the way we live, change the way we see or change the way we eat.

In fact, its intellectual history begins with Adam Smith's effort to explain why and how the natural instincts and capabilities of free men cause economies to change and progress. All this is worthy of being recalled today because it remains little understood...
Will "some day" ever become today for the Russian consumer? Not unless the regime decides that it must accommodate to change???which would mean yielding some of its incredibly far-reaching power. At present, the central planners in Moscow set prices for no fewer than 10 million different items. They still establish production goals and determine what products are to be turned out by every factory in the Soviet Union...
