		<description><![CDATA[http://blogs.worldbank.org/africacan/can-better-roads-reduce-poverty
This is an interesting post and paper on a pretty counter-intuitive result for me. Perhaps it was the example of Saskatchewan: An amazing network of roads enabled farming growth and market access in that province. And so I never questioned the basic assumption that roads are good for agricultural growth and an important investment if [...]]]></description>

&#8220;I suspect it&#8217;s Maslow&#8217;s second highest need – respect – that people most crave from work: respect not just from their colleagues but from the world. No one wants to have to cringe when they tell people where they work.&#8221;
This insight from Michael Skapinker&#8217;s excellent column in the FT last [...]]]></description>

The basic premise around living wills for banks is simple – some financial institutions were so large and so complex that managers and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;We need to reassert the notion that roles of authority are positions of responsibility rather than declarations of personal merit and routes to personal enrichment. That notion goes with old-fashioned concepts of social obligation and public service. An insistence that power is a duty, not a prize, is probably the most important reason why some [...]]]></description>
