Coase Colored Glasses

German corporations killing children in Uganda? From the Commons Blog:

Scandalous behaviour by corporates and governments
Posted by Kendra Okonski · 13 October 2005 · DDT/Malaria ~Environmental Risk ~European Union ~Precautionary Principle

At the Campaign for Fighting Diseases website, Richard Tren, director of Africa Fighting Malaria, writes that German chemical company Bayer has supported the European Union's threats against Uganda should the country decide to use DDT in its malaria control programme.

Not only is this scandalous -- it is a major conflict of interest. Tren points out that "[A Bayer representative] sits on the board of the World Health Organization's Roll Back Malaria (RBM) coalition - as do other commercial contractors to US Agency for International Development (USAID)."

Tren is a signatory to the Kill Malarial Mosquitoes Now (KMMN) declaration, what Tren calls "A new coalition which has emerged in the US to focus the minds of USAID in their malaria control efforts."

There is always a ligitimate concern when such things are happening. Bayer is selling nets to Uganda while discouraging Uganda from using other methods to control pests. Is it out of legitimate health concerns for europeans? To some degree, buth I can see why others doubt it. We used DDT for years and so did Europe. Many contribute the lack of maleria in those areas to DDT. Why is Bayer so concerned about DDT, because it's a cheap solution.

This is probably similiar to what we discussed about beuracracies in class. They really believe they are doing the right thing, and that just happens to be what benefits them finacially.

From the Washington Post Oct,10 2005.
"Why does Europe impede Uganda's fight against malaria? The standard answer starts with "Silent Spring," the book that helped launch the environmental movement in the 1960s and that painted a scary picture of DDT's potential impact on the food chain. But this is only half right. The book's overblown claims led to the banning of DDT in the United States in 1972 and its disappearance from aid-funded programs thereafter. But "Silent Spring" was really about the dangers of large-scale agricultural use of DDT, not the limited spraying of houses. Today mainstream environmental groups concede that in the context of malarial countries, the certain health benefits of anti-malarial spraying may outweigh the speculative environmental risks."

I wonder if Rachel Carson knows she’s responsible for millions of deaths in developing nations; around 500 mil. people a year get malaria, about 100 mil. die from it.

Dear fellow blogger,

I perused your post with much interest as I was looking for ways to trade in construction. But unfortunately your post did not exactly cover trading in construction. Yet I have fount a website that allows you to trade in almost anything like construction on interest free credit, and you can pay for your construction whenever you want. Here is the link one more time: construction.
