On December 6th the New York Times published an outrageous op-ed piece <http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/06/opinion/06diamond.html?_r=1&hp=&adxnnl=1&pagewanted=1&adxnnlx=1260126009-z24nIK/1mEeC9l4sXErZHA>by corporate cheerleader Jared Diamond, who states, “I’ve discovered that while some businesses are indeed as destructive as many suspect, others are among the world’s strongest positive forces for environmental sustainability.” The examples he provides? Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola and Chevron.
^^^^^ CB: Diamond is a public celebrity because of _Germs,Guns and Steel_ and the like. However, biologists doing history and anthro in the bourgeois mainstream are gonna often be Social Darwinists , at bottom. So, this is not surprising.
