Capitalism to the Rescue! April 16, 2000
2 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is a well intentioned and very well thought out and developed idea about finding a way to compensate Native cultures for being successful "stewards" of biodiversity. I give it three stars primarily for its footnotes and bibliography so anyone interested in preserving Native cultural diversity yet also interested in accepting and maintaining the power of a global market economy can find further resources. The author excels at the use of the third person passive voice and analyitical reasoning; he obviously knows a lot about biological resources of plants. To some this book will be a hope for justice to Native people, to others it will be literally a "sell out". Good luck deciding which one you will be when YOU finish reading it!
