machine-like labour at that. just as he isthus depressed spiritually and physically to the condition of amachine
(Karl Marx Wages of Labour,1844)
He also made a distinction between Technical andSocial reasons for the division of Labor ie: who

As the rise of capitalism andtrade was accompanied bythe division of labor
(and the concept of value chain )

And the corresponding valuechain brought a natural
distinction of rich(industrialized) and poor
countries

And Post-Industrialism is, in
a sense, making a strangesense:

As countries become
service providers for Trans-Nationals

The Kyoto Protocol
The Kyoto protocol (1997)mandatory limitations for the reduction of greenhousegas emissions of the signatory nations
ANNEX 1 Countries Obligations to reduce or trade
ANNEX 2 Countries No obligations, can participate inCDM
The Byrd-Hagel ResolutionOnJuly 25, 1997 the U.S. Senate unanimously passed by
a 950 vote the Byrd-Hagel Resolution : the Senate wasthat the United States should not be a signatory to anyprotocol that did not include binding targets andtimetables for developing as well as industrializednations or "would result in serious harm to the economyof the United States"

At this point I want to reachtwo conclusions
8/15/2019 EK - SABF 2007- Knowledge Economy and Sustainable Development-August07-Comp

1) We have to be very carefulof doubletalk
8/15/2019 EK - SABF 2007- Knowledge Economy and Sustainable Development-August07-Comp

Written in 1971 by MarceloDiamand,Argentine Engineer

explained Argentinas cycliccrisis based on a simple
