International Economic Development

I hope that this will become a forum where people of all political persuasions can discuss international economic development. All views are welcome, but so are all arguments and opposing views. Therefore, if you make a statement, please be willing to back it up when asked. Or at least get off the soapbox if you don't have the facts.

You are also welcome to post on any topic relevent to development issues- we can discuss careers in international development, related policies, or just vent our frustrations about the work. Your post need not be directly related to economics, but I want the focus to be on increased incomes and reduced poverty, economic growth, and the like.

All are welcome to join- please introduce yourself and your interest and/or background in development when you join.
