Re:

bill gates and I , are going to convene some very small gatherings on new soltuions for the financial distress. who would you suggest, out of the box . ( ebn musk , geitner, muscovici.? monti?)

You might try Lucas Papademos -- former interim PM and ECB guy from Greece. The head of the central Bank in Ireland, Patrick Honohan is also very good. Vitor Gaspar -- finance minister from Portugal and another former ecb is also very good. Then from the UK: Adair Turner, head of the FSA. Then there are the economists: Ken Rogoff et all. One guy I would recommend who everyone listens to in Europe, including Draghi, is Paul de Gruawe.http://www.econ.kuleuven.ac.be/ew/academic/intecon/degrauwe/

From the IMF -- Olvier Blanchard, he oversees all their research and is an authority on what ails Europe.

Let me do some more thinking. And course you can always invite me! I come very cheap...
