El presente artículo desarrolla una historia comparativa de las trayectorias de las sedes del Congreso por la Libertad de la Cultura en México e India durante la década de 1950. El planteamiento central de este escrito es que las actividades promovidas desde ambas sedes desempeñaron un papel central en el establecimiento de una cultura liberal de elite articulada en torno a la denuncia del peligro que el totalitarismo de izquierda representaba para el futuro de ambos países y, por extensión, para el resto del Tercer Mundo.

"How do we provide for and nurture millions of people without destroying the planet in the process? Author Doug Kent, an environmental specialist, believes a vital element in the solution is recognizing that urban landscapes are an essential partner in everyone's wellbeing. He argues that urban landscapes can and must work harder. Urban landscapes can provide part of our energy needs, help cool our buildings and public spaces, help us make the most of our precious water.

He has spent years doing literature reviews, and many more years concocting, consuming, crafting, distilling, propagating, retting, sawing, sowing, and weaving its many recommendations. He has also travelled the length and width of California many times to interview the people and businesses already doing this incredible work.
