Every now and again I read something so striking that everything must be dropped and everything within my limited power done to bring it to a wider audience (not much wider, obviously).
Today someone posted a link on Twitter to devex.com, a website which seems to concern itself with overseas development. An article on devex features the following quote from Bono.
"I'm late to realizing that it's you guys, it's the private sector, it's commerce that's going to take the majority of people out of extreme poverty and, as an activist, I almost found that hard to say".
How to describe this moment of eclaircissement? A no-shit-Sherlock moment? A statement of the bleedin' obvious? Or merely long overdue?
