“My experience is that there's corruption everywhere: in the U.S., in
Europe, in Asia, and in Africa…
But what happens is that everyone's wringing their hands about
corruption without trying to solve practical problems…
And right now, we're not even helping the well-governed places,
the places where we are capable of finding absolutely practical and
effective approaches to turning help into real success on the ground.”
- Jeffrey Sachs, world’s leading economist and author of The End of Poverty
