I do wonder why it is easier for governments to give hand outs rather than actual help to those who need it. It is a shame to hear that the corrupt people running the countries are continuing to allow their own people to suffer. It seems to me that keeping people poor may be what the real "push" is. ~D~ Sounds like an interesting book that I would read.

SO THE EVIDENCE IS IN
Sustainability in any service or social market deems it necessary to go round valuetrue multiplication’s golden triangle : micro through media to macro, not just top-down’s other way round

There is also nigh on 30 years of practice with tools for doing this, and marrying the compound exponentials of economics and sustainability: -eg
MicroFinance *
Social Entrepreneur *
BRAC: Abed’s largest civil org in the world

So why are we not doing this? Everywhere? There seem to be 3 main answers:
Broadcast media has been gagged from debating this openly

Transparency is absolutely necessary: None of the above methods is sustainable if there are wars or corruption all around a place

Professional metrics monopolies haven’t changed their maths to be fit to grow up in www’s century 21
