Western investment in Human Resources alone puts us well ahead of the rest of the world.
Human capital is less important than social capital to solve the environmental problems caused by the English Industrial Revolution of the 18th century.

The Industrial Revolution of the 18th Century has run into an impasse of a human population of 10 billion come the 21st century.

We will not kill billions to save your Revolution.

The party is at an end. A problem will be abject poverty.

If you over look the exchange with Benoit and go back to my post I have some figures that the subsidy for a minimum wage job is $10,600 a year. Hardly any one commented. Growth is skewed to low paying positions, is economically backward. That's a fine kettle of fish.

Let's be clear, a wage subsidy means something like an EITC (earned income tax credit).

……..What is wage disparity?
In Canada we have the Universal social programs. They are insurance for family and a subsidy to the worst off. They tax the better off so the poor can survive catastrophic health problems and that. The rational always was wage disparity. Wage what? Wage disparity is long forgotten by the elite in Canada, the comfortable pew. Very unfortunately politicians of all stripes, economists and sociologists are entirely forgetful of how our society is put together. In Ottawa the intellectual thing is to dwell on percent change in this or that parameter over the last 12 months, the trend. Meanwhile low wages have become a feature of the economic landscape.

Economics 101: It is not efficient for a firm to pay a worker more than it will earn in profits from his/her labor.
