Basil and Sidi, it is interesting that one of you made a passing reference to Jeffrey Sachs. i have searched for the last Jeffrey Sachs piece on emerging markets in the Guardian. interesting he is putting blame on the IMF for emerging markets financial woes. what i do find worrying though is the claptrap going around in some media circles, that, he is the most important economist alive. i hope you find it interesting.
