KevinTheOmnivore Slight tangent-- the Bretton Woods hotel in New Hampshire, where the world bank and IMF were cooked up, is auctioning off use of their entire hotel for one day on ebay, with all proceeds going to Katrina recovery.

They estimate it's one-day value at $50,000+.

I think you're giving far too much credit to the world bank. The WB is a heavily layered bureacracy, with all sorts of departments that release memo's all the time saying all sorts of things.

Another important point-- THEY'RE OFTEN WRONG!!!

mburbank Phewsh, Kev! Thanks for reading that. I was thinking it was going to have something to do with Anarcho Capitalism.

KevinTheOmnivore "Somalia's private sector experience suggests that it may be easier than is commonly thought for basic systems of finance and some infrastructure services to function where government is extremely weak or absent."


This isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.

I'll also direct you towards the section entitled "Gaps in private sector provision."

mburbank But your point in posting it has something to do with your boner for anarcho capitalism, right?

The One and Only... Not directly. It's about Somalia

mburbank Only if you promise me this fucking is not about anarcho capitalism.
