But really, Diane, the reason why Easterly's name was tagged in the ONE Blog post was probably because his name appeared in Sach's article. ONE is under no obligation to post anything more than what it chooses - just as Dambisa's social media outlets position her in the best light also. There's plenty of "blame" to go around. All the Best, debbie :) Here is the link to Mr. Easterly’s op-ed piece that Diane mentioned above:

Here is an even better response from Dr. Moyo., also on the HuffPo, hopefully, in the interest of debate, One will post her article.

Now the professor is correcting his student. (lol) I could say more here in this thread but I won't for diplomacy's sake. ALWAYS FOREVER, ONE, debbie :) Keep it up, Professor Sachs – especially seeing that Ms. Moyo loves to quote the fact that she has been a student of yours. Now the professor is correcting his student.

The idea that the ultra-poor of the world simply need trade and economics is insane. Yes, we need to help the third world get self-sustained economically but it all starts with the basics: food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, education, etc. Thank-you for this article.
