“Only when the last tree is cut down, the last fish eaten, and the last stream poisoned, you will realise that you cannot eat money.” — Cree Indian Proverb
An observable trend I’ve noticed in recent times…
The volume of journalistic opinion pieces critiquing the effects of entities amassing extreme wealth, is expanding.
Some areas being critiqued include:
- philanthropy — not always as charity-driven as is being portrayed;
- climate change — excessive polluting behaviour, unacknowledged or glossed over; and
- influence — investment in self-nominated, profit-driven research activities, affecting other value-driven global efforts | political donations, affecting policies that indirectly confer business advantage.
