It all started in 2001 when George W.

A narrow focus on human numbers obscures the way
different economic and political systems operate to

economic and political elites.

places and uncovers an industry which contradicts its objective to
increase understanding between peoples. Rather it apppears to be
encroaching on lives and accentuating inequalities.
