War on Disease

We are, right now, living through the golden age of poverty reduction.  

Anyone serious about tackling global poverty (and I’m afraid we have to exclude Oxfam from this category) has to accept that whatever we’re doing now, it’s working – so we should keep doing it.

We are literally on the road to an incredible goal: the abolition of poverty, as we know it, within our lifetime. 

Those who care more about helping the poor than hurting the rich will celebrate the fact – and make sure free trade and global capitalism keep spreading so as to finish the job.

Oxfam forgot to tell Davos that you need only $3650 to be among the wealthiest half of world citizens
