There's an interesting post today from my friend Ben Harnwell on his insightful new Brussels Dispatch blog.
Reading his piece, it occurs to me that the huge army that exists to regulate international development would be out of their collective 'jobs' were the poor to actually become rich: their ideal world would be one in which increasing amounts of money needed to be regulated and disbursed - whilst the poor moved only incrementally forward in prosperity. Not too much to obviate the need for international support - but not too slow to fundamentally discredit the machinery.
Do take a look.
