If it's not oligarchs and despotic dictators that drive us into a apocalypse, it'll be these idealists. They have no real grasp of the topic (in this case agriculture) and forced a whole country to use organic farming. The resulting collapse in productivity and export bankrupted the country.<p>What did they expect? Well, they expected their aura of moral superiority to magically save them I guess. Instead, the cruel math of output vs input (rice and tea vs fertilizer) ground their idealism to dust.<p>We need to start keeping a scoreboard of countries ruined by clueless idealism. Chile, Venezuela, Sri Lanka. What others?
