Block Democracy Balance

More From Ha-Joon Chang

My position is that the rate should align with the level of economic development. because it is always about a balance, a balance of interests, and it should reflect this balance. a balance between those who sell something across the border and those who benefit from a low rate, as well as a balance between the interests of those who buy, who need the rate to be higher. a balance between national producers, for example, agricultural producers who are interested in it.

I think that it's difficult to talk about large questions of economics or social policy without understanding the building blocks of society. and those building blocks are organizations, the people who run them, and the people who work in them.

If animals are no longer quite outside the moral sphere, they are still in a special section near the outer rim. their interests are allowed to count only when they do not clash with human interests. if there is a clash - even a clash between a lifetime of suffering for a nonhuman animal and the gastronomic preference of a human being - the interests of the nonhuman are disregarded. the moral attitudes of the past are too deeply embedded in our thought and our practices to be upset by a mere change in our knowledge of ourselves and of other animals.

I believe that there will be ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those who do the oppressing. i believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the system of exploitation. i believe that there will be that kind of clash, but i don't think it will be based on the color of the skin.

We don't have a great clash of civilizations, a clash of ideologies, a clash of alternative models, where governments thought to themselves, if we go too far, if we sort of trample unreasonably on rights, we'll give birth to a political movement which will cost us our credibility, and will possibly cost us our offices, because people will vote for the other team, the other guys.

Do you want a sign that you're asleep? here it is: you're suffering. suffering is a sign that you're out of touch with the truth. suffering is given to you that you might open your eyes to the truth, that you might understand that there's falsehood somewhere, just as physical pain is given to you so you will understand that there is disease or illness somewhere. suffering occurs when you clash with reality. when your illusions clash with reality, when your falsehoods clash with truth, then you have suffering. otherwise there is no suffering.

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty.

The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress.
