The Third World, Growth and Resources

Abstract

Businessmen are often castigated for being too little concerned about the Third World, and for being committed to unsustainable growth at the cost of the environment, and missing out on the great goods of life. These criticisms are often captious, and therefore ignored. But businessmen do have to deal with the Third World on occasion, and as citizens may have to vote; and although often there is not much to be done, it is important to have a clear mind about the implications of economic activity, if only to avoid being made to feel guilty, and to prevent potential recruits being put off from business life.
