This is all part of the *feel good about myself* ideology. The wealthy young slackers who have no impetus for a real career can set up NGOs and pay people to manufacture the *sustainable* stoves they approve, then use the grant and donation money to 1) give themselves paid administrative positions; 2)finance trips to 3rd world locations to burnish their resumes; 3)finance 6 months at a time living somewhere *exotic* to also increase their organizing credentials, while forming relationships with 3rd world leaders. If the NGO is also considered a *charity*, they can usually get a nice tax deduction, as well.
They become *experts*, publish, lecture and go on to other NGO positions and sometimes then run for political office, all without ever working in the private sector.
These are the people born and bred to rule the world. Everyone else is just a stick figure populating the background and useful only in so far as they create a milieu for the elite.
As my dad said: An expert is this - an ex is a HAS been and a pert is a drip, so an expert is a has been drip. :-)
