Thinky thinks: This might be controversial, but. I had a stray thought the other day that if we back off a little bit on Commanding Heights / the economic focus this year, a three way debate between microfinance, conditional cash transfers, and good old economic growth (i.e. Bob Fulmer-esque, the market alone will bring people out of poverty, just look at China) would be a really fun exercise. Too advanced?
