That is an important historical photograph, that tells so much about post colonialism, power and the culture of propaganda. Ann and the others were the leaders it took, but Clinton etc al were making a cold commercial and political decision. The expansion of money at that time, made cancelling the debit rational, to create investment opportunities. We collectively pay a high cost for global inequality, much greater, in the end, than the benefits to the richest 10%. Intellectuals, Artists, spiritual leaders and activists have been enormously important in leading a recognition of the tragic truth of this.
