The City University of New York Graduate Center is producing a landmark intellectual history of the United Nations in the world economy. Aimed at examining the UN's contributions to economic and social discourse since 1945, the project will review those ideas and concepts that have emerged from the last half-century of UN deliberations and that continue to energize international public policy. Such areas as trade and finance, preferential access, the gender revolution, poverty elimination, human rights, sustainability and responses to international economic crises will be featured. In this episode of World Chronicle, Thomas Weiss, Professor at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, discusses the massive undertaking of writing the United Nations' intellectual history.
