Locals Near Mine Want MIDROC's Help |
|

mining used to mine, protested in a demonstration on
Friday, December 4, 2009. The demonstration arose

Economic
Commentary |
|
|
As economies crashed around
the globe recently, the liberal economic view that dominated the world since the
end of the cold war came to a real test. Some even said, "Marx was right!" The
search for an alternative broader ideological direction, and thus economic
policies, was in full swing. This was not a new phenomenon, reminds Harold
James, professor of History and International Affairs at Princeton University.

| Opinion |
|
|
Many have heard the term rent-seeking over the past
few years. At times it has been the government's
economic policy to discourage "rent-seekers" and
support those who create wealth and value legally in
the economy. But the policy does not seem to be well
noted and much understood by many people. |

"It
is not the rhyme and lyrics that tells one's love for a people. It is rather the
will to pay the price to serve it." |
|
Prime Minister Meles Zenawi spoke to a press conference on
Friday morning, December 11, 2009, during which he responded to
a reporter's query that he has never shown his emotions in
public about the country he leads. The Prime Minister believes
loving a country should not mean more than loving its people and
that is better expressed by deeds than words. |
