Vision For The Future

September 19, 2005

Nancy Birdsall's Foreign Affairs article, "How to Help Poor Countries" was cited in this article appearing in the Barbados Advocate.

From the article

"Making reference to the July/August issue of Foreign Affairs, in which Nancy Birdsall and others contributed to the matter of How to Help Poor Countries, Arthur noted that the argument has been made, that to help developing countries help themselves, wealthy nations must begin to lift the burden they impose on the poor. Currently he said, the developed world uses international trade agreements to impose costly and onerous obligations on poor countries."
