        @sapinker As with language, the thriving of mankind depends on using an inherited, evolved institution -- the system of prices & property.

        @sapinker Sounds positive indeed, though there's no mention in the article how the new report defines "poverty"; a very slippery term.

        @sapinker Gains maybe lost as #Climate tests stretched resources. We didn't prepare & may still rather sacrifice lives than admit a problem.
