logic kind capitalism
Whats immediately profitable is the only kind of logic that capitalism understands.
powerful army tools
Debt is such a powerful tool, it is such a useful tool, it's much better than colonialism ever was because you can keep control without having an army, without having a whole administration.
people consumption productions
There are a lot of people who don't contribute anything to consumption and production.
jobs community needs
What you need if you want jobs are small and medium sized enterprises, local initiatives, labour intensive work, community development, service providers and the like.
country jobs europe
If we wait for the U.S. to do something, we will be waiting for a very long time. It's Europe, it's Australia, it's the other developed and middle developing countries that have got to do the job.
Subsidize... or lend.
years next-year income
The natural capital is not income, but we spend our natural capital as if it were revenue, as if it were going to come back next year without any problems, whereas these renewals in nature can take hundreds of years.
years eggs two
I used to work a lot on food issues and every time somebody predicted that production would be inadequate they got egg on their face a year or two later.
strong would-be carbon
I was recently looking at what they can actually do to reduce consumption of petrol. It would be quite possible to build automobiles out of carbon fibre that would be just as strong, weigh 10 times less and consume 10 times less petrol.
book fighting thinking
I think the market is always going to be around. The goal is not to say, let's get rid of the market, because the market does render a huge number of services, and I don't want to have a fight about the price of something every time I buy a book or a bottle of water.
tools needs arithmetic
We have the most crude accounting tools. It's tragic because our accounts and our national arithmetic doesn't tell us the things that we need to know.
land earth surface
Only around 2% of the earth's surface is cultivatable land.
democracy done international
Everything has to be done to build some sort of international democracy. We've seen only the tiniest beginnings of that.
country rich-countries people
The question is not only what is grown but what it's used for. There's not going to be a mass transformation of dietary habits in rich countries-on the contrary, the first thing people do when they become more prosperous is to buy more meat.
