Daniel Ben-Ami says:
'We need to ditch the notion of sustainability, both here and in the developing world –
the idea that we should place limits on development is really negative.
It would also be positive to have more resource flows, but not with all sorts of
conditions attached and we should end migration controls,
especially when you consider how important remittances are to the developing world.'

Cowardly Capitalism: The Myth of the Global Financial Casino by
Daniel Ben-Ami
"Cowardly Capitalism combines an excellent survey of modern finance with the
striking idea that our aversion to risk is more dangerous than our love of it.
Its message should be taken seriously by everyone with a stake in modern
financial markets"
Andrew Freeman, European Business correspondent, The Economist
