I was in India recently on holiday and happened to read in a newspaper about demands being made by Indian farmers to their government:
1. The right to be free from debt
2. Because now many of their products are sold below the cost of production, they would like the government to establish the cost of production for all commercial crops, then establish a minimum sale price of 150% of this cost.
Obviously there are details to be worked out, but it makes you wonder why the world has such a hard time agreeing to demands like these that seem so reasonable.
Surely there’s some room for compromise here?
