Dissidents and Philanthropists

Deep truths as essential to life as oxygen from Bill Easterly in Dissidents and Philanthropists. Aid is often unwelcome and serves the colonialist-philanthropist-grantmaker's ideology and amore propre. Freedom is not only economic. Freedom also means "who decides for me" and for my family?

Only what can be measured can be managed and the urge to manage, to be the manager, to be the boss is well, human, all too human. What kind of person is driven to measure and manage others?Ouch! Sorry, boss! Yes, M'am, a high capacity, high performing person, M'am. A hyperagent, M'am. Yes, M'am.I should have realized that my blog is monitored.

Then I will beat them, for their own good, and for my pleasure too, and that will be justice at last.
