I don't know either of them on other issues but from this one article, Mishra made an important and valid point about the ultimate (now not so long term) consequence of the global name of the game that we all face. I've spent decades in environmental protection and am of the opinion that the world is wasting too much in appearing to protect the environment (but not doing enough), or dreaming unrealistically (like Ferguson) about our infinite ability to extend the resources of this finite planet.James Tam 谭炳昌 (过渡)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04425158964357728038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4636313704681840087.post-52145822077146523502013-01-15T17:37:11.718+08:002013-01-15T17:37:11.718+08:00Between Niall Ferguson and Pankai Mishra, I actual...Between Niall Ferguson and Pankai Mishra, I actually subscribe much more to Ferguson. Mishra is out of touch in my opinion. While his anti-colonial, anti-imperial stance does resonate with him, he distorts it by painting China as also imperialistic. It wasn't only because it was weak. Now it's getting stronger, it is imperialistic - in Hong Kong, on Taiwan, regarding Tibet, etc., etc.Allenhttp://blog.hiddenharmonies.orgnoreply@blogger.com
