MFAN Principal, former USAID Administrator, and current dean of the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs J. Brian Atwood hosted renowned Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto as part of the University of Minnesota’s “Great Conversations” series last week. You can listen to the conversation here. De Soto’s perspective on the global economic crisis and the importance of democratic governance to global prosperity are relevant messages for aid advocates everywhere. Though no major media covered the event, the Growth & Justice Blog — a local blog based in Minnesota — has a nice write-up of the event. Be sure to check it out!

Nice post. I be taught something tougher on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content material from different writers and practice a bit of something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content material on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll provide you with a link in your net blog. Thanks for sharing.
