Thank you, sir. Well-stated, and appreciate the reading list. One example. In the area I grew up in the US, millions of acres of virgin forest were stripped (but not cleanly) within a century. This expedient, wanton and careless destruction also largely destroyed the means of 'self-determination' for tens of thousands of natives - oftentimes forcing them into dependence on meagre handouts. Never mind the cultural disruption.
