N2  -   Because Caribbean societies were created by 'the market' and its people were a commodity in that market, we have a deep experience of this form of social organisation from which to speak.  This paper, written six months after the historical UNCED gathering in Rio de Janerio in June 1992, is a demand for justice, integrity and rationality in economic planning instead of the "deals" which merely provide some jobs at the expense of non-renewable resources.  It was orginally presented at a meeting of the World Resource Institute, held in Washington.Since the author is a business women, a member of the women's organization and an environmentalist, she brings a useful perspective on the ethical issues emerging a culture in which the accumulation of capital (or in our case "foreign exchange") is valued above all else.  By placing the organization of human life in the 21st century", she raises an old feminist question about the relations of property in a contemporary and future Caribbean context
