	Tuesday, October 25, 2005  by Admin
	Jeffrey Sachs has a simple message for the people of Britain. Dont let the leaders [of the G8 countries] leave Scotland without offering serious plans for ending poverty and climate change. They are not going to Gleneagles for a game, or for a little vacation, not for photo-ops, not for smiles. They are there to set us on a real path to ending extreme poverty. Give them a serious warning..

	Tuesday, October 25, 2005  by Admin
	Here we stand again after two decades of development, trying to pick up the pieces, and we simply do not know whether problems associated with dire poverty have increased or decreased or what real impact the growth of Gross National Product (GNP) has made on them.

	Tuesday, October 25, 2005  by Admin
	Human rights include not only civic and political rights but also economic, social, and cultural rights, for example the right to work (see back page).

479.	Population, Environment and Development
	Tuesday, October 25, 2005  by Admin
	The twentieth century has been a century of unprecedented population growth, economic development and environmental change.

However, while world population increased close to 4 times, world real gross domestic product (GDP) increased 20 to 40 times (DeLong, 1998), allowing the world not only to sustain a fourfold population increase, but also to do so at vastly higher standards of living.
