The End of Poverty - video lecture

Jeffrey Sachs, the economist who wrote the above book, recently gave a 40 min lecture at Columbia University, where he outlined the main themes of his book, and his argument that we can end poverty by 2025. He's a compelling speaker, and I enjoyed listening to it. Check it out here:

There is a great news article on the "poverty question" in the U.S. post-Katrina. It has some interesting stats and a good perspective.
