Notável iniciativa do Guardian: "Kick all agricultural subsidies (kickAAS)"

"Make it simple and effective. Abolish all agricultural subsidies so that every proposed reform doesn't generate new escape routes that negate its primary purpose. To this end, the Guardian is starting a new website today, aimed at kicking into oblivion all agricultural subsidies (http://kickaas.typepad.com). This is one of those rare topics that unites right and left. It is also one of the few remaining free lunches in economics from which practically everyone gains. It would galvanise developing countries' agriculture while freeing more than $300bn currently being spent by governments - over $200 per capita"

Começa-se agora a descobrir que um dos problemas do terceiro mundo é o protecionismo agrícola nos países desenvolvidos. Até Lula já o descobriu.
