Yup, and keeping people poor, which contributes hugely towards profit and exploitation. I've always wondered whether a huge worldwide programme that forced countries into lifting people out of poverty, with fantastic health care and Education provision, living standards etc would contribute massively towards improving our chances against the destruction of the planet. Put people in a position where they have the power and intelligence to make informed decisions and counter government policy.
