There is a dissonance between two camps of modern liberal ideology, both of which have had a deep influence on my thinking. On the one hand there is the green ideology that advocates buying locally produced products or growing your own and the general  reduction of energy usage. On the other there is the drop the debt coalition that is attempting to help the developing world drag itself up and become a richer place.   This article is my attempt to resolve their influence on my own beliefs, with regards to philanthropy.

The problem with nationalism is that it will align itself with and act in the common good of humanity only when its own interests are also served. And of course, if its interests are served by stability, which might sometimes be served by propping up corrupt regimes, such as in Burma and its supply of natural gas to India and China, no action will come at all. Agitation then to get countries to do something is pointless. National governments exist to serve that country's citizens, not humanity. That fundamental structural defect means that nations are unreliable agents of the common good. They will never act for the common good of humanity on principle alone.  However, with the rise of the Internet, we have a wonderful new tool at our disposal for the advancement of justice. A means for all of humanity to coordinate and act on the name of the human good on its own, bypassing the morally compromised and ineffectual national governments.
