BALANCED ECONOMY
An economy that is not ecologic is not economic.
On the side: Most so called third World Countries are currently highly indebted with the Worldbank, other institutions, companies and Countries.
Most of these debts were accumulated shortly after being "freed" from colonization.
On the other side:If some good lawyers took heart these Countries, could sue the responsible Countries, companies, institutions and banks for the debts they amassed during the time of colonization. Of which, till today none of these Countries, companies, institutions and banks ever made retribution, or if, in ridiculously small amounts, which don´t deserve the name and cut a deal that all debts from the past are nill now, on all sides.
On the otherother side: The responsible Countries, companies, institutions and banks could call them selves lucky, if this would come to pass.
