From the Paper:

"Another article entitled, The Most Dangerous Deficit: Why the Supply and Demand for Global Public Goods Could Kill You, author Moises Naim finds that the rate of natural catastrophes occurring around the globe has increased and the resulting cost to the world's economies is substantial (2006). The argument, according to this author, is that the supply of resources normally taken for granted that are part of the global public goods such as the seas and global fishing or timber harvesting around the globe, is decreasing so rapidly that the resulting decrease in supply of these global public goods is resulting in astronomical price gains that make these resources unaffordable for many."
