Public Environmental Policies in the Amazon

"Millions of people have been victimized by disastrous development policies, conceived in a megalomaniacal compass, executed in a primitive and callous manner, which in the end developed little more than the fortune and power of their principals. The Third World pseudo-faiths, in just one generation, became skilled manipulators of images and symbols of progress, but proved remarkably incapable of generating real progress to compensate for the real devastation and misery they brought" (BERMAN, 1986).
