British Prime Minister Gordon Brown on Monday shared his vision of a new global society pegged to the structural revamp of international institutions of the Cold War era — the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the United Nations — as also the G-8 into dynamic entities to address the problems of the globalised world.

Screwing the world while on a global jaunt.
