Quote:They end up doing it by manual (child) labour in open air, and the result is a lot of sick people over there, and a ruined soil. Sure, you can blame them for taking the deal, but did anyone really expect them to prefer starvation?
Just from a strictly game theory point of view, if they prefer A to B, and we prevent them from taking option A, isn't that making things worse for them, rather than better? (A of course being taking the waste recycling deal, B being starvation.)
