I am 60, when I was young in rural France, people like me run away from the countryside where we were born as it was some kind of intellectual desert. People who were left there become victims of crooks who told them to invest a lot and work hard. Forty years later those countryside people are really impoverished even if they contribute to create astounding value for the companies (disguized as not-for-profit for social and fiscal reasons!) who sell their dairy and meat products. I think this article is of high interest to people who are interested in the society they live in and who wonder how to make it better. While the proposed solution is certainly something people like us would reject, the author has certainly a great courage to propose it.
