Sorry, I was born in 80's Eastern Europe and I can tell you one thing: nobody there wanted to live like our grandparents, who worked 16h per day to feed themselves in old-style farming and died at age of 50.
Everybody wants to live like Vandana Shiva, who lives in Delhi, charges $40k per speech at events where she flies in business class to teach how the poor people should be living in the jungle farming polycultures...
