Dos posts muy interesantes en lo de Johan Norberg. El primero muy relacionado a tanta gente que sigue sosteniendo que la culpa de todo la tiene el capitalismo y que como el capitalismo avanza en el mundo, las cosas están cada vez peor. El segundo con lo que digo siempre, en la educación y en la salud, los avances pasan por las reformas promercado:
WHILE WE READ THE ECONOMIST:
"World population increased by more than 18% during the period, but world GDP per head—a proxy for living standards—rose by nearly 40% on a PPP basis, at an annual average rate of 2.5%...
By the reckoning of Freedom House, a think-tank, 20% of the world´s population in 1993 lived in countries that were fully free, in terms of political rights and civil liberties ... By last year the fully free had risen to 46% of global population. "
- Bill Emmott about how the world changed while he was editor of The Economist 1993-2006.
THE DOCTOR IS OUT:
Researchers from Harvard and the World Bank have made unannounced visits to primary schools and health clinics in Bangladesh, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Peru and Uganda, and it turns out that 35 percent of health workers and 19 percent of teachers failed to show up for work, and they are almost never fired.
How would they act if there were no monopolies and their salaries were dependent on students and patients chosing their school or health clinic?
