OK, I know common sense usually gets a well deserved spanking from proper science, but something here seems very odd indeed... If I get it right, the gist of the article is that if crop yields increase, poor farmers are worse off; if however, they decrease, they become better off. Does that apply only to poor farmers, or more generally? Can I increase my earnings by producing less? I think I'll take the rest of the day off to celebrate!
P.S.: Well, I guess that is more or less how the stock exchange works: you don't actually produce anything useful, and get handsomely payed for your contribution to society.
Are you using the same sources as the people mentioned in this article? Methinks you are... Apologies for not keeping up with the Mail's level of intellectual discourse.
