LATIN AMERICA: INTEGRATION AND INCLUSION

By Jose Mujica
As is well known, all countries, and the small ones in particular, are having a hard time adapting to a shrinking world that is ever more globalised, interconnected, and interdependent, with multiple centres and multiple peripheries. Given the infinite number of connections, the traditional forms of production and distribution have changed. Transnational corporations control an important part of world trade and dictate the new regulations to which we have no choice but to adapt.

WE MUST UNRAVEL THE SECRETS OF NATURE TO SUPPORT LIFE AND THE PLANET

By Jose Mujica
Humanity has undergone a sort of sorcerer's apprenticeship. We have set in motion a civilisation that has managed to incessantly improve the living conditions for large numbers of people, though perhaps in haste. There is no way of measuring the consequences that these myriad actions have had on the planet. This ship that carries us through the universe has its own complexities, and we are learning, painfully, that we have to change many aspects of our behaviour. This is absolutely necessary for all forms of life, including our own.
