Conclusion
2015 is fast approaching. I doubt very much that given current trends, systems and approaches, that the world will be a better place then with half of its population living above the poverty line. The forces creating those cruel, inhuman conditions are too great and merit enormous attention before they can be transformed. However, ending poverty is an attainable goal. It’s a real goal that must be reached and doing so, as has been acknowledged by everyone involved in this struggle, will never be easy. Changing our approach to ending poverty can however help to make this objective more reachable, and put in place ways of being that continue to assist in reducing poverty, in line with global efforts at all levels.

I write because I believe in the power of ideas! Thoughts are what have changed the world... Every revolution, every legislation, every act started off as a thought. All thoughts are inspired by other thoughts expressed in song, essays, research, poetry, spoken word, action...

I write because I love. I hope that my writing inspires and informs you as much as the writings of others has done to me in my life.

Me fascinó la claridad y contundencia del análisis. Coincido plenamente. Un abrazo, Dumi!



True...

But what are you doing to solve the poverty issue in your own way...Let the truth about unfair global trade, horrendous debts, corruption, misrule and misgovernment etc be told..It would be futile to reduce poverty while some goonic leader somewhere is looting his country's resources, buffoonic rebels are still fighting in DR-Congo, Uganda, Ivory Coast, Colombia....Among other plethora of realities.. Walk the talk..Ideas are powerful..Niccolo Machiavelli agrees with you.



Excellent Analysis

Your analysis of the current MGD situation is excellent. Well written, as well. I love that you included The Earth Charter as a viable alternative solution to global development.
