More From Susan George
- "The natural capital is not income, but we spend our natural capital as if it were revenue, as if it were going to come back next year without any problems, whereas these renewals in nature can take hundreds of years."
- "The real fight is about what should be in the marketplace and what should not. Should education be a marketable commodity? Should healthcare?"
- "I used to work a lot on food issues and every time somebody predicted that production would be inadequate they got egg on their face a year or two later."
