MIT Professor Rudi Dornbusch makes the argument that the development community should not confuse inequality with poverty -- even though at the bottom they might feel the same. Coming Monday: A New Globalist Paper PRICING AIDS MEDICATIONS TO A HUMAN SCALE In a scramble for good publicity, pharmaceutical companies have started a downward bidding war in pricing AIDS medications for African markets. To add a much-needed measure of fairness to the process, we propose a better alternative -- adjusting the price of treatment to per-capita GDP.
