Recording my expenses in a journal kicked things to a whole new level. I always thought I was fairly responsible with money. I don't have credit-card debt, I put a decent slug of my salary into my 401(k), and even though I spend a ridiculous percentage of my paycheck on housing - I do live in New York City - it's just a one-room apartment.

We've got huge climate-change and energy problems that can only be addressed at a global level. And we've got problems of poverty that need some international response. On these very big issues, you've got agreement that the world has got to work together so that global financial flows are in some way supervised beyond simply national regulators. Every other crisis has been dealt with...
