Mr. Mohamed Ibrahim is very intelligent, responsible and ethical man. He is and will be continuously “fighting” for the right governments in Africa. He is only less than 1% human being in our world; most people are irresponsible, selfish and greedy. He is just too native; the people, who he is fighting for, are no better than their leaders.

Timing is very important. If he started his business ventures in 20 years ago, or 20 years later. He might be broke. The same rule applies to human development and politics.

I think he is onto something. His ideas are universal and profound.

This issue of agricultural products and other staples and raw materials receiving an ever-declining share of the world's total wealth is the most significant problem the planet faces, the consequence of which is the major factor in increasing population and wrecking the environment. As I have said many times before, it is due primarily to urban areas controlling the supply of credit, thereby siphoning off an undue amount, meaning essentially that these factors are remunerated with depreciating money. The same applies to labor and is why the middle-class is sinking and people increasingly priced out of mkts for goods and services. As ppl grow poorer in that sense they have more children and try to rely more and more on capital equipment. While it's the process whereby the West industrialized, it has had serious side effects that must be addressed. This was noticed by labor advocates quite early in the 19th c and even earlier in England. Getting control of the banks is long overdue. I was quite happy to hear of the IMF's recent statement to the effect that the developed world should consider this party over.
