Food for a faceless and cozy thought (3)
---------------------------------------

Claudio,

I totally agree with you and the article.

Globalization has killed localization.

I recollect my dad telling, how our village was practically
self-sufficient and everyone lived in harmony and total contentment,
with what they had. There was every product or service needed, locally
available within the village or within the neighbouring village,
obviating the need for incurring high cost in import of goods and
services, to the detriment of the local community.

But thanks to globalization, all this has changed. Now no longer, local
products and services are available. Almost every thing a local village
needs is imported from the capitals around the globe. So much so,
unemployment and unhappiness has risen to such high levels, there is
theft, robbery, killing, naxalite, terrorism, drug trade, arms trade,
etc., etc.

If we need to reverse all this, I think, we should ban currency
circulation and make local people, survive on local products and
services, thereby strengthening local economy first. The earlier system
of barter within the village was a very good system.

What do you and others feel?

Regards
