D. Sachs, professor of Economics and Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia
University. They have to invest in infrastructure projects and spend money to
help the developing world. In this commentary, provided to Fortune by
Project Syndicate, he argues that this helps bring sustainability to the
recovery. This is a view contrary to many economists in the west that advise for

"Because
I've experienced so much trouble with the [quality of] telecom services, I would
like to choose for them the song 'I've had enough'." |
|
Mohammed Ali
Al-Amoudi (Sheikh), the Saudi billionaire with series of
business portfolios in Ethiopia, responded to Seifu Fantahun, a
radio talk show host's invitation to select his preferred song.
In this rare interview, broadcast twice by the private FM
station, Sheger 102.1, the business tycoon wanted officials of
the state telecom monopoly to listen to an old Tilahun Gessese
song whose lyrics state: "I'm fed up, furious and have had
enough." |
