"We must never cease to insist that development is about people and not about objects. That the aim of development must neither be producerism nor consumerism, but the satisfaction of fundamental human needs, which are not only needs of humanity, but needs of being as well."
Manfred Max-Neef (born in 1932) is an economist from Chile famous for turning well-established social norms upside down.
Manfred openly express his disappointment in his own scientific field of economics, but unlike many others, he also provides alternative paths for the economy and human development.
Manfred Max-Neef’s work in poor countries resulted in his winning the Right Livelihood Award (known as the Alternative Nobel Prize) in 1983.

RD developer is still threatening our Community. We depend on Mayor Barberio & the Town Council to make sure Waterview becomes open space and our Municipal Master Plan conforms to the highest environmental standards; especially Parsippany's unique place in the NJ Highlands and its Ground Water Recharge Areas, over 2,436 acres worth.
