Value of Nothing – Read It!
Dear all! There are lots of people who work for the welfare of the society insist that this is the right time to save our planet from a numerous disasters like global warming. They used to show their anger on people who are in financial madness that is they know the price of everything and don’t know the value of those. One of the famous activist or academic, Raj Patel shows the misunderstanding of people about valuing the world through their faith in prices. He writes in his book of “The Value of Nothing” that the democratically bankrupt political system is the major cause for the corporate capture of government and financial crisis and not just because of wrong kind of economics. He argues that the failures in food, weather conditions and economic crises are the result of wrong politics. Instead, if the economics is about choices, all the natural resources will be unaffected and the next generation can receive everything that we had enjoyed.
