More news this morning about agri-expansionism (1) and multi-national corruption (2).
As the global commodity profiteers rampage across the planet, leaving a trail of exhausted & despoiled environments, it's very easy (and on the whole, very appropriate) to rail against them and blame them for the damage they cause. At the same time the picture is more complicated, since a large part of the profiteering motivation is to satisfy the shareholders and from that starting point the chain of responsibility leads, proportionately but swiftly, through the murky financial waters to all of us who benefit from share investments, directly or indirectly, personally or civically. Oops.
