Effective States

I heard Ashraf Ghani yesterday on the Global Business podcast from the
BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/worldbiz/). There’s an
interesting conversation about mobile phones and micro-funding in
Afghanistan, amongst others.

He has a kind of Yunis approach to the Economic Hitman problem, and
has set up the Institute for State Effectiveness
(http://www.effectivestates.org), which in turn has some good
articles.

As suspected for sometime, capitalism has the answers as long as
human(e) intelligence demands the optimal business model.
