Complete Doha instead of focusing on a big push of aid for Africa By Thomas P.M. Barnett CENTER FOR GLOBAL LIBERTY & PROSPERITY "DEVELOPMENT POLICY ANALYSIS": "The False Promise of Gleneagles: Misguided Priorities at the Heart of the New Push for African Development," by Marian L. Tupy, Cato Institute, 24 April 2009.Link Nice piece that argues that Africa is the least developed part of the world but also the least free when it comes to economic activity (meaning, the most protectionistic), so instead of debt relief (that punishes the thrifty and rewards state thievery and diversion to arms spending) and more aid (how did China and India lift so many hundreds of millions out of poverty with no significant aid?), the world's major economies (i.e., G8 that held the Gleneagles conference) would do much better to complete the Doha Development Round of the WTO.
