...CRITICIZED SOME INDIGENOUS LEADERS FOR TREATING ABORIGINES LIKE "MUSEUM PIECES." Some of them are pretty hypocritical - they attack me about my views on (Aboriginal land) ownership and I say, Do you own your own home? They usually say yes. I think they've lost touch a bit with the ordinary lives of people. But I get off the train in Redfern and walk to my office, and it confronts me every day.

When it comes to the war on drugs, Morales is just a realist: he defends the right of Bolivians to make a decent living, something already quite hard in the so-called “developing” latitudes. Poor peasants with few acres of land grow coca because of basic Smithian economics: the market equilibrium price is far higher than other crops like coffee or soy.

His father, born in Switzerland, was 3 when he came to British Columbia with Jungen's grandparents, who had been enticed to Canada by government promises of farmable land. His mother was of native background, a member of the Dane-zaa Nation. "Interracial couples were very taboo," he says. "White guys could have native girls as girlfriends, but not wives." Jungen grew up on farms around Fort St. John, a once remote oil and logging center in northeastern British Columbia. He was 7 when his parents died in a fire...
