I think the Nepalese have a good idea and base there progress not on financial terms but the happiness of there society. Yeah maybe we're happier with our gizmos for the short term but at what cost to long term happiness?

The poster you refer to simply illustrates the effect of over-population, even though it has a financial reference. Its a pity India doesn't introduce a one child policy like China.
And as for the Nepalese, they have always lived this way. Try giving them all the gizmos for a while and then try taking them away again and see what reaction you would get! To put it in a nutshell, we can't go backwards.
