Honour Amongst Aid Workers | Waylaid Dialectic
https://waylaiddialectic.wordpress.com/2015/03/18/honour-amongst-aid-workers
March 18, 2015. Honour Amongst Aid Workers. Filed under: Random Musings. 8212; terence @ 5:02 am. My wife and I often take development reading to bed.

Curious, I levered my copy of Historicism and Contemporary Aid Discourses from where it had slumped onto my chest and turned in search of an explanation. Comments Off on Honour Amongst Aid Workers.

July 1, 2015. Filed under: Random Musings. 8212; terence @ 12:45 pm. The Dimpost has a handy summary of the insanity of it all here.

Either sheer fecklessness or (more often) underlying problems of political economy sometimes lead countries to acquire unsustainable levels of debt. However, this is, almost always a bad idea.
