Good morning, world. The #CosmopolitanGlobalist--which will launch soon, by the way--is working on a story about farmers. Specifically, we're working on a story about farmers, free markets, and democracy. Can they coexist? Since our perspective is *global,*
we would like for at least part of this story to be written by people intimately familiar with this issue in Africa and Latin America. Are you such a person? You wouldn't have to write the whole article; in fact, we can just interview you, if you prefer--
or you could write part of the article. Are you in #Ghana, #CôtedIvoire, #Nigeria, #Brazil, #Mali, #Rwanda, #Mexico, #Argentina, #Ecuador, #Uruguay, #Bolivia, #Chile, or any other country in Africa or Central or South America--
where farmers are particularly pleased or severely displeased by the way their governments, elected or not, have provided state support to farming enterprises? How well have "free trade" and "markets" worked for farmers there and what do they think of it?
What do other citizens of that country think about subsidizing farmers with their tax money? Do they or would they think it a good idea, or would they wonder why the farmers get subsidized and they don't?
We'd very much like to know. We're looking right now at India, the EU, and the US--but we're globalists. And cosmopolitan. And any story like this that neglects what's happening in Africa and America south of the US would be neither. If you're involved in this story, in any way--
as a journalist, a farmer, a government official, or just a taxpayer who has strong feelings (or reasoned opinions) about this, would you please get in touch with me? If you tell me to follow you, I'll DM.
