Many people have been tweeting about this blog (https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2018/jul/16/buzzwords-crazes-broken-aid-system-poverty?CMP=twt_gu …, on whether we should shift our attention from aid project evaluations to structural causes of underdevelopment. I'm curious to know, have these discussions changed your views & priorities?

Of course not full refs. But they dont make any case eg that public ed. = only soln. '*we*need to introduce & enforce real labour legislation' (what does that mean?!) No sign they've looked at scale of MNC tax, and they suggest misinvoicing is behaviour of large biz.... So....
Your questions 1 and 2 are good but we should notice that (1) they don't offer evidence and (2) they don't raise questions, just give us some "trust us, we're Nobel Laureates" answers
