Interesting. Here the discourses on povery are completely taken over by owners, operators, and development technocrats. And the conception is akin to the World Bank's, whose webpage now sports a "world without poverty" doo-dad. I thik we need to stop talkling about it all together here. Ivian Illich's _Invention of Poverty_ is light in the darkness in this regard. Tom Tom Kruse / Casilla 5812 / Cochabamba, Bolivia Tel/Fax: (591-4) 248242 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
