“Business often does a good job supporting communities: the arts, universities, and scientific enterprises... But that philosophy has rarely reached poor countries. Even businesses that are enlightened in their home bases see Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia as places to exploit natural resources or use cheap labor.” DoeArtCountryPhilosophyUseHomeJobsAmericaCommunityNaturalPoorResourcesLaborBasesUniversityEnterpriseEnlightenedLatinAsiaGood JobExploitsLatin AmericaNatural ResourcesPoor CountriesCheap LaborHome Base Author:Jeffrey Sachs

“Right now, we say in a traditional home one parent stays home with the children and the other provides the financial support for that family. That is the acceptable and right thing to do.

“By default, we have created a "system" of nursing-home care for the aged in which middle-class people pay exorbitant rates to for-profit nursing-home entrepreneurs - and then when private resources are consumed and the patient qualifies as a pauper, the nursing home begins billing Medicaid. This is precisely the antithesis of social citizenship; instead of the poor being accorded the dignity associated with the middle class, equality of treatment is achieved by making the middle class undergo pauperization.” PeopleHomeCareSocialPoorPayClassMiddleResourcesDignityEntrepreneurPatientRateProfitMiddle ClassTreatmentCitizenshipConsumedNursingDefaultAntithesisMedicaidNursing HomeBilling Author:Robert Kuttner

“Where I did feel a difference is learning to just work in a different way so that your resources are not completely depleted so that you don't have anything to give to your child when you go home, and fortunately I've been working long enough that I know how to make that shift so that I don't compromise my work or compromise my relationships; not compromising parenting is really the biggest difference.” KnowsWayGivingFeelsChildrenLongDifferentEnoughHomeDifferencesKnow HowResourcesOur ChildrenCompromiseYour ChildrenDifferent Ways Author:Laura Linney
