Rakesh can speak for himself but I didn't hear him say that. There is 
indeed quite a tough critique of the wishy-washy way that J2000 North 
folk are dealing with these issues. Although the J2000 South people 
who met in Jo'burg last November in an important summit were much 
more interested in inward-oriented, basic-needs economics than 
Rakesh, I think a good deal of the critique of well-meaning northern 
social imperialism is shared by these South social movements. Check 
it out through the link to Jubilee South at http://aidc.org.za
