WASHINGTON, DC Greece s GDP, at about 300 billion, represents approximately 0.5 of world output.

Although China accounts for 20 of the world s population, its share of global GDP currently is only 7 .

But perhaps the world should be thankful, because without American profligacy, there would have been insufficient global aggregate demand.

But, although developing countries now account for more than half of global GDP growth, advanced countries have yet to admit them to leadership roles that reflect their growing influence in the world economy.

During the global recession in 2009, Africa and Asia were the only two regions where GDP rose.

In 2012, world trade expanded by only 2.5 , while global GDP grew at a disappointing 3.2 rate.

Given the high degree of trade and financial globalization that now characterizes the world economy, there is no doubt that the slowdown in the advanced economies, which account for two thirds of global GDP, will undermine emerging country growth.

If successful, it would cover more than 40 of global GDP and account for large shares of world trade and foreign direct investment.

But this was just the flip side of what Keynes had worried about insufficient global aggregate demand.

Although their current combined GDP is still a relatively small fraction of global output (about 15 ), that share is rising rapidly.

After all, advanced countries account for about two thirds of global GDP, so slow growth in these countries will inevitably impede global growth and truncate the growth potential of much of the developing world.

The dollar reserve system is fraying, but is likely to be replaced with a dollar euro or dollar euro yen system that is even more unstable. Annual emissions of a global reserve currency (what Keynes called Bancor, or the IMF calls SDRs) could help fuel global aggregate demand, and be used to promote development and address the problems of global warming.
