Privacy about giving is counterproductive. There is solid scientific research showing that people are more likely to give if they can see that others are giving. The richest people, in particular, should be setting an example.

International donors, our friends, should demand results; impose results. The fact of giving money is not helping if you give money to honest people and there is no structure to manage that money. It is not helping.

Developing countries often have hypertrophied bureaucracies, requiring businesses to deal with enormous amounts of red tape.

It's not good for government to tell people that the world owes them a living and that things are free.

There are rich people everywhere, and yet they don't contribute to the growth of their countries.
