By James Petras

The Imperialist Suicide Epidemic In India
By Larry Everest
http://www.countercurrents.org/everest150611.htm

There is no reason that agriculture and food and other needed goods can only be produced if a profit is turned and the interests of a handful of imperialist powers are served. The basis exists, in human knowledge, technology, and resources, to solve the needs—including for food and clothing—of humanity. But what stands in the way of this is a world economic system of capitalism driven by profit

By Stephen Lendman
http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman150611B.htm
