In fact Canada's debate last year over whether to meet it was redundant because we had already promised but never kept it. That said, thanks for the recommendation, maybe I will read the book. If he is saying "can", not "will", then I am inclined to cautiously agree. The 0.7 committment was made decades ago and has never been kept, except for a couple scandinavian countries.

Sachs never claims that poverty will be ended by 2025. He claims that it could be, based on the 0.7% commitment that has already been made.

The book is well worth reading.

I believe it can be abolished, but won't...world leaders and their lazy, apathetic constituents don't give enough of a rat's ass. And I'll tell you three words we won't be hearing from anyone starting around 2012: "Millenium Development Goals". Anyways never mind me, I'm just depressed. Have fun in Malta. you might want to search for Stiglitz’ “The end of the beginning of the end of world poverty” article…I haven’t read Sach’s book yet but personally, it would take quite an argument to persuade me that poverty will go by 2025.

Because the strange internet cafe software in the hotel is causing serious problems with Java - and therefore both GMail and Blogger - I have been unable to respond to several messages that I otherwise would have.
