Thailand's Economic Development Was Driven By Educational

When The Government Is Trying To Penny-pinch And, At The Same Time, Trying To Keep A Defense Expenditure And So Forth, Which Are Regarded As Quote Unquote Essential, The Education Is Regarded Inessential.

You Have To Be Interested In Inequality. The Issue Of Inequality And That Of Poverty Are Not Separable.

80 Percent Of The Export Of Armament In The World Comes From The G8 Countries. [the] United States Alone Exports About 50 Percent Of The World's Armament, [for] Which, Of Course, There Has To Be Buyers, And The Buyers Are Very Terribly Keen, Very Often Military Dictator[s] Or Sometimes Not Military Dictator[s] But For Military Purposes. But The Sellers Are Also Promoting This Trade. And Two Thirds Of The Arm Exports Go To Developing Countries. I'm In Favor Of Putting A Control On It, A Ban On It.

I Think Just As Armament Had A Major Impact Of A Negative Kind In The World, Education Is Something Which Has A Major Impact Of A Positive Kind In The World. And I Think The American Population, With Its Humanity And With Its Concern About The Future Of The World, Has A Real Reason To Think About What It Can Do To Help The World In Expanding Education.

While I Am Interested Both In Economics And In Philosophy, The Union Of My Interests In The Two Fields Far Exceeds Their Intersection.
