Refaving because we are reading it this month for book club. To be honest, I have very mixed feelings about his arguments, but it is really interesting to read a not-so-academic critique of the international development industry by someone who:
a) Has academic standing (NYU proffessor)
b) Has experience writing for popular audiences (publishes in magazines as well as journals)
c) Has worked on the inside (World Bank economist for many years...admits to having been initially in favor of structural adjustment policies)Quoted: Amazon.com: The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good: William Easterly: Books

secret wars comic book covers. you can't tell me this isn't sweet~ :P
FYI for the comic geeks - notice the lower left hand corner. this was originally shown to show 'first run' comics vs. reprints. the reprints had bar-codes. also if you notice they show the black custome of spiderman (which you later learn is venom).
