Dollars or rubles.”

Instead, he advocates helping the poor earn money through their own efforts of developing low-cost tools that are effective and profitable.”

They have been artificially separated and have to be put back again in the Western way of thinking.”

“For decades, I thought that scientific truth, solid economic case studies, and common sense were enough to bring about change on the environmental front. After all, the data is so compelling!
