by Michelle Fuchs and Sky Shields

Michelle Fuchs and Sky Shields of the LaRouche Basement scientific researcher team highlight two strategic-economic proposals recently offered by Russia: the Strategic Defense of Earth (SDE), and “an enthusiastic approach toward Arctic development.” These concepts “provide us with a platform for this discussion, and an opportunity to apply several crucial concepts of physical economy which Lyndon LaRouche has developed in a recent series of studies.”
