...There is a temptation to compare this new facility to the IMF, but that analysis would miss the move toward a financial alliance that will help serve to bring Asia together as a single, loosely formed economic entity lead by China and Japan, two of the four largest countries in the world as measured by GDP.

Despite the enormity of that goal, Sarkozy wants to move fast. He's calling for financing offers from an array of public and private actors to be tabled in July. And in October, he will introduce legislation to strip down construction, zoning, and other laws that have traditionally slowed development in the city. Sarkozy also said he wants construction...
