Reasoning better about the major challenges of this century

Hence his refusal to buy organic cherries imported from Peru. Without being a whistleblower, Bruno David notes the contradictions of the globalized capitalist system, indicates that he “There is a correlation between the wealth of a State and the number of endangered species”, add “That the parameters on which the calculation of the GDP is based are incomplete since they do not integrate natural capital”.
