Being adequate. Its a different direction that recognizes the rights and not just materials. When you talked about the role of the Development Policy experts and academic economists and i think sometimes academic economists also draw that distinction and many of them have worked on these Political Rights already like my colleague here and also other examples like the work on the rights and the allocation on the Political Representation of women and it seems that sometimes those efforts get ignored. So in advancing the debate on Political Rights that is maybe a perennial problem of how do you get policymakers to listen to evidence but it is still i think a pretty good question of how we get it paid attention to and then on the other hand, there is one exception in the Development Community that has already accepted the debate as complete and that is something in the corporation that has Political Rights as a prerequisite to receiving any aid and sometimes the funding in the developments
Douglass or go back to the perky washington this is what they were saying. They were optimists. They said i think we are going to have them one day. But the more important job is to read the people and to be able to take advantage of those opportunities once we have been. And that has been the failure of liberalism in my mind. Is that they have not prepared to blacks through the policies that they have pushed to take advantage. We have created a people that see themselves first and foremost as victim victims and t helpful and it has to change. Host so the liberals have helped to enable the community. Guest the worst aspect of the subculture that they have helped today. Host and also at the time when the Minority Group in this country will alternately wind up being the majority in the years to come soon but at the same time you are saying that africanamericans should take the selfcontrol responsibility that when you are talking about pulling the government away from this, where does the
Its just over one hour and 15 minutes. [applause] thank you so much for that warm introduction. Its a great pleasure to be here with you. I want to talk today about something that has unconsciously and indirectly led to a tierney of experts. Lets call it the technocratic approach for Economic Development. Its the idea that poverty is really just a set of technical problems. So, for example the area there is a variety of Technical Solutions one of them involves spraying a chemical called pyrethroid on the walls of peoples houses and the inside wall to kill mosquitoes that kill malaria. It helps fight malaria and other Technical Solutions might be to convert land to higher value uses like from food crops that have low value to those that have higher value the approach of the element that seems so appealing Industry Forward and uncontroversial may not in fact be quite that easy. This is the punchline to a joke. This isnt a happy part of the talk im afraid. On the morning of february 28, 2

I am going to talk today about something that has unconsciously and indirectly led to a tyranny of experts. Lets call that the technocratic approach to Economic Development. The idea that poverty is the technical problem. So that for example there are a variety of Technical Solutions. One involves a chemical on walls of peoples houses, on the inside walls to kill mosquitos that kill malaria. Technical solution that helps fight malaria. And other technical solution might be to convert land to higher value uses like food crops with low value to Forestry Products that have higher value.

We are happy with the world banks announcement earlier this week which will be an initial seller payment but it small. We think the imf really needs to get involved and we heard that they plan to send their Assessment Team in july which we think i
