However, it is not debt alone; it is debt constructed by the Washington Consensus and the IMF, which locks the destinies of developing states into continual underdevelopment because of debt servicing. Debt forgiveness is not enough for these states because it has become normative behaviour to engage in illegal and legal economies, which hold a disregard to environmental sustainability. Until an international bankruptcy regime is adopted the relentless loaning of capital for debt rescheduling will continue on. International financiers are correct when they say forgiving debt

Having begun his career as an astronomer (and having first put forth the theory of galaxies), Kant later delved into moral philosophy. Kant set out to determine whether or not there is a moral law by which all people must live, and, if so, what such a law would be.

Initially, he associates things such as civilisation, knowledge, and good in terms of light - as it appears; and lack of civilisation, savagery, and evil in terms of darkness - an expected perception. However, as Marlow begins to have glimpses at the truth of human nature, his associations reverse.
