Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Bill Gates vs. Dambisa Moyo. Two fighting!

Try as hard as I could, I only saw a pugilist in the ring, and she was not fighting, rather was winking at people to buy her book and talk about her, which you just did, and I am doing, so she is indeed a fighter, and btw, I enjoyed the extra copied that I took from your library.

Her point is well taken, and could have been made without the dressing it came in,... and there I thought it was peculiar to Nigerians.

There would never be consensus on most economic theories. The austerity vs stimulus debate, the latest in the unending struggles between the 2 dominant camps in Capitalist theory continues almost 80 years after Maynard Keynes confused a U.S. president with the incongruous argument that spending what the government did not have was the only way out of the Great Depression. 

Last time I was at the airport traveling to Prof. Achebe's funeral rites, I got less treatment than the other guy that turned a politician just the other day from teaching at CUNY, and to that I promised myself to look for what remains available to mere mortals like me but not to him; the sister is a smashing pretty face, and yes, a private citizen could say so and get away with it.

Best of the weekend.
