While acknowledging the credentials of the Economist, I have the following doubts in my mind making his reliability. * None of the Countries or organizations which he has advised in the past turned the fortunes, they all have gone down in economy and eventually disintegrated. * certain of the key aspects like water and agriculture were taken very lightly by him - why? * Technology is not the solution, assimilation of technolgy and usage to the maximum extent is vital. * Ethical aspects and uncontrollable genetic reactions, which only Multinational drug corporations can research afford to develop medicines come along with genetically modified food. * How many of these things are affordable from indian stand point. * UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is a free country for about centuries and scientifically and technologically besides politically and strategically advanced and planned nation with very good constitution which aims at Equality/freedom/democracy. - Can we in our current disposition match them atleast in another century ?
