Hi Clement,

This is amazing. For now it seems like the whole movie is also available in you tube in English as a whole, i.e. without multiple chapters, but they may remove it soon…

Comment on Is state intervention in agriculture processes a necessity? by jeremy

jeremy — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:04:03 +0000

I completely agree that the state can intervene in the marketplace to change behaviour so it is more socially and ecologically responsible. The key is providing the right incentives, and in the regard, the authorities can serve as a ‘price-influencer’

Comment on Privatisation of Water in Bolivia by jeremy

jeremy — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 10:47:45 +0000

Water has to be priced correctly, otherwise it will be used with impunity and, as a limited resource, it will be used inefficiently. However, commodification does not mean privatisation which typically does not address the question of distributive justice. Ideally, any pricing mechanism needs to kick in only at that point where water is used for commercial purposes, and after personal and ecosystem requirements have been satisfied.

Indeed, any macro measure that does a better job than GDP would be desirable. The Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) would have to be a leading contender.
