But I still can't get over this picture. How on earth can the non-profit sector, of which FAVL is a tiny, humble part, ever successfully improve the well-being of the bottom billion if the for-profit sector wreaks havoc on the economy? Hello, calling all economists! Can one of you please explain this amazing rise and fall of one of the world's most important commodities, whose production and consumption is pretty stable.... Wait! I'm an economist! (Actually Jim Hamilton at Econbrowser offers lots of commentary on the oil market.). I promise no more non-reading posts.
A site devoted to thoughts about books, reading, and libraries relevant to Africa mostly by Michael Kevane, co-Director of Friends of African Village Libraries, a small 501(c)(3) non-profit devoted to helping village and small community libraries in Africa. I am also an economist at Santa Clara University. Other frequent contributors are Kate Parry, FAVL-East Africa director, and Anne-Reed Angino, FAVL networker extraordinaire!
