A Minor Modern Greek Tragedy

We used to say “Everyone has one great novel inside of them.” I think now all we can hope for is one good tweet. Unfortunately, mine was last week.
The Diaspora Mirage
by Scott GilmoreOctober 28, 2011
That was one of many low points of my time working for him, but what made this one particularly galling is he ended up being right. The Timorese diaspora did not return except for a couple of notable exceptions. They chose to keep thier kids in school, to keep their jobs, and to visit their homeland every once in awhile to see family.

Aid “Industry” vs Humanitarian “Relief”

Look out Libya, the airport’s about to get crowded
by Scott GilmoreAugust 22, 2011
The one thing the international community is good at is helping to hold elections. The next best thing they can do is build up police forces. After that, its utility per dollar ratio plummets. Development, institution building, private sector development: these are things we’re lousy at. But we’re even worse at admitting it. So look out Libya, it’s about to get really crowded at the airport.
