The "booming economies" of India and China.

The "booming economies" of India and China.
BBC1 News: "the booming economies of India and China"!
all the fecking time !
Pretty much propaganda, really...

I mean maybe - it is just possible - that some people could have a different model of development or of what a society is and should be.

The conventional economic way of looking at the world is not the only way of looking at the world.

"the booming economies of India and China"!!?
(Please refer to previous blogs).
Kerching kerching kerching!
KERCHING MEANS NOTHING

India and China are undergoing their transformation into wasteful, destructive, consumerist societies that mimic the USA.
They are imitating us in their enthusiasm to destroy and deplete the planet.
This is not something to celebrate. This something to get depressed about in my opinion.

P.S. 14th May 2008.

Just listened to Nigel Lawson on Radio 5 saying that economic growth in such poorer countries is what assures them an end to poverty and disease.
Er. No.
Economic growth is not the same thing as development and achievement of basic needs and services.
Ending poverty and disease is relatively easy and has nothing in itself to do with economic growth.
Economic growth and its effects are in fact destroying these countries.
