Vision

You may have noticed the recommended reading links in the right hand column. The End of Poverty, is what I am devouring right now and will still be reading as I fly to Malawi. It is an inspiring book; which is unexpected since it's on economics. In it, Jeffrey Sachs lays out a path to ending absolute poverty. This is not a book of prediction, but prescription. Sachs paints a detailed picture of present state of our world (Malawi is covered in the first chapter). He also shows what needs to be done to change stagnant economies into growing ones.
These are hopeful times. Debt relief is beginning. The musicians are on the march again. It is possible to join with a growing movement of informed, and capable people who are willing to take on the challenge of creating a better world. I like it.
