Let's not forget this gem in a memo from Summers:

>Dirty' Industries: Just between you and me, shouldn't the World Bank be encouraging MORE migration of the dirty industries to the LDCs [Least Developed Countries]? I can think of three reasons...

...I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that...

...I've always thought that under-populated countries in Africa are vastly UNDER-polluted
