Yet another wayside blogChris Blattman, an assistant professor at Yale, is blogging about local-level solutions to poverty, political development, and conflict in the developing world, with a focus on Africa. Good reading, but I would of course need more China-related stuff in order to read this on a regular basis.

Hausmann on biofuels and poor countriesRicardo Hausmann, writing on Dani Rodrik's blog, has published an interesting take on the discussion about biofuels, rising food prices, human rights etc. He's shattering some myths - especially the theory that making fuel from crops will cause higher prices so the poor can't feed themselves anymore. Hausmann, in contrast, argues that biofuels production may well be a "stepping stone" in the development of poor countries, especially in Africa. Highly recommended reading!
