Last week’s Archdruid Report post fielded a thoughtful response from peak oil blogger Sharon Astyk, who pointed out that what I was describing as America’s descent to Third World status could as well be called a future of “ordinary human poverty.” She’s quite right, of course. There’s nothing all that remarkable about the future ahead of us; it’s simply that the unparalleled abundance that our civilization bought by burning through half a billion years of stored sunlight in three short centuries has left most people in the industrial world clueless about the basic realities of human life in more ordinary times. It’s this cluelessness that underlies so many enthusiastic discussions of a green future full of high technology and relative material abundance.
Acumen Fund | Home
Under the incubation of The Rockefeller Foundation, Jacqueline Novogratz develops the business plan for GivingWell, combining the best of markets with the best of charity. Shortly after it is renamed Acumen Fund. Acumen Fund is officially incorporated as a not-for-profit organization. On this day, the team is scheduled to move from The Rockefeller Foundation offices into their new office two blocks south of the World Trade Center.
Development in Africa
J’intervenais récemment devant des chercheurs d’EDF et nous nous demandions lesquelles des trois grandes puissances Chine, Inde, Russie (auxquelles j’ajoute le Brésil) sont les plus performantes en Afrique et offrent les meilleures perspectives. Bien sûr, la Chine qui a dépensé tous azimuts et sans compter pour que sa stratégie gagnant-gagnant devienne le succès que l’on connait est la plus voyante (voir Matières premières et intelligence économique ). Mais la Russie a décidé de rattraper son retard, l’Inde aussi.
Lorsque le consommateur africain se réveillera, la Chine tremble
