Indeed, fortified frontiers are most effective at stopping poor migrants and refugees. And even then, rather than preventing migrants from entering, fortifications all too often funnel them toward more dangerous crossing points.

Above a rather low level of income (enough to satisfy basic needs), Easterlin found no correlation between happiness and GNP per head. In other words, GNP is a poor measure of life satisfaction.

But technology alone will not be enough. Regulators, hospitals, and drug safety authorities must take the lead, rather than placing the burden on often poor and uneducated citizens who are struggling to care for loved ones.

All of this illustrates what is wrong with the World Bank, even aside from Wolfowitz s failed leadership. Unlike the Chinese, the Bank has too often forgotten the most basic lessons of development, preferring to lecture the poor and force them to privatize basic infrastructure, rather than to help the poor to invest in infrastructure and other crucial sectors.

Rather than giving away bed nets, rich country organizations like the United States Agency for International Development try to sell them to the extreme poor, albeit at heavily discounted prices.

It is now widely accepted that financial assistance alone will not bring about effective poverty reduction. Rather, sustainable, pro poor growth is the key, requiring political stability that is, peace and security for individuals good governance, and ownership of policies by all stakeholders.
