Was reading a physical copy of Barron's (by the way, what I might reflexively call a 'goodlongread' on the web is not even two full pages in a newspaper-size print mag...) -- really eye-opening article. Might have to read that Deaton book.
I'm saving the hell out of this post. One of my friends is this really sweet, sometimes naive girl, who is planning a tour around Africa. Purely on altruistic basis. I've had my doubts about the trip, as I didn't really think it will help that much. I'll let her read it, maybe she changes her mind.
