One Factory, One Forest: Design, Ecology and Micro-Economic Development in Guyana, by William Gordon Other designers and I spoke about projects we had conducted in the developing world with local manufacturers, working with them to capitalize on globalization through an international design perspective—as opposed to being stampeded by it. The speakers in the symposium collectively laid out a new paradigm for the future of the globalization of handmade objects.

The developed world has a strong responsibility in sharing knowledge, resources, responsible behaviour and know-how with emerging countries. But our track record isn't that good.
