William     Powers

“When discussing relatively “poorer” countries, we need to make a clear, explicit distinction between people living in a state of material destitution and people living healthy subsistence lifestyles. Terms like poverty and Third World mask this distinction and give license for modern professionals — of whom I’ve long been one — to undervalue, denigrate, and interfere with sustainable ways of life.”

William Powers, Twelve by Twelve: A One-Room Cabin Off the Grid and Beyond the American Dream
