At which case, historically the richer nations have always done a better job of (just compare the USA to communist china etc - the USA wins on sustainability). Therefore there is strong anecdotal evidence that those with a higher degree of free market is more sustainable. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately when most people talk of sustainability - they focus on environmental solely. And don't think of the economic or social damage that their policy can cause (often having later unintended conseqences on the environment).deletedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002415274366842312noreply@blogger.com
