You might know by now two topics I enjoy reading about are foreign aid and climate change.
Well this blog by Alan Beattie at the Financial Times and all the links provide some great food for thought.
Here's the opening paragraph:
Nothing to gladden the heart of a reporter* more than a good row about development aid. It’s got everything: political posturing about rich versus poor; blindingly complex arguments about “additionality”; dire warnings that everything will fall apart without it; George Soros punting some version of his Special Drawing Rights plan for the twentieth time. And so it came to pass with the Copenhagen summit.
I wonder why the government's of the world keep throwing good money after bad? Is it simply to appear that they are doing something?
What am I missing?
