Thought for the weekend

It’s time that we start describing the world as “fat” or “lean.” “Lean” societies approach consumption and production with scarcity in mind. And what makes an economy “fat”? Plenty is normal. Fat economies must stop assuming that poor countries should mimic them and instead embrace their models for social innovation and efficiency.
