I find this interview VERY interesting. Now I wonder if this argument is going to lead anywhere. It's good to have one person say this, but Africa needs more outspoken people like him to start making a difference...
@Oliv
W. Easterly in The white man's burden has the same kind of view.
P Wolfowitz was trying to promote a more consistent approach to corruption, we can see how he was thanked.
But, the G8 is gonna give 60 billion to help this poor coutries stay poor, it's all good for the aid business.
