Anything but water

1. The key to development is NOT to get prices right, but institutions.
   
   
2. A useful debunking of paternalism, even if it "benefits" us.
   
   
3. "The UN's carbon credit trading program is a sham."
   
   
4. A good podcast discussing how scientists try to defend their work when it fails the scientific method. Also see the links to background articles. We need more science, not more ideology.
   
   
5. Over-management of food production by the Indian government leads to waste and hunger.
   
   
6. I agree with Brad Delong on the Euro-debt crisis (banks write down Greek debt, etc.)
