America forever and everywhere! (Score 1)

It is hard for me to understand why people always try to make every country like America. This is where most of the problems in the first world seem to come from. You would do well to read Vandana Shiva's Reith lecture on biodiversity.

In it, you can read read why the indebtedness of rural farmers in India is linked to the promotion of monoculture-based American agritech and how they actually have a traditional way to farm that *works* which doesn't involve getting mortgaged up to the eyeballs to "get better lives".

But I do agree with you in that social change and green tech will probably come from the third world but it will not involve "lower taxes" and similar simple capitalist agendas. Tax is mainly a corporate problem, not a private one..

Please go to the Fund's homepage, read and understand it, then read Shiva's lecture and tell me what you think.
