Chapter 2
SYSTEMIC DYSFUNCTION
2-9 OUTDATED INTERACTION
There is a dangerous disconnect between the growth of knowledge, the growth of the economy and the results being achieved. Far too many people do not see progress in their own lives and the degradation of the environment is unsustainable.
Wrong modes of interaction and wrong way information flows

The main interaction between north and south over the past several decades has been “official” through government and institutions like the World Bank, the IMF, UN, bilateral government agencies, etc.. Private NGOs and family remittances were small.

It would be far better if the people to people interaction was much larger and the various 'official' interactions were relatively smaller. An important flow of resources and ongoing interaction is the remittance from diaspora.

It can never be totally clear when the interaction is driven by official channels to who are the main beneficiaries of the interaction. This is especially true when the interaction is associated with the military and is described as 'security'.
