    Jun 30 2009: I agree. I've read similar analyses. The need for job creation definitely doesn't limit to post-conflict regions, it is also crucial for countries in the Middle East, as a broader counter-terrorism effort.

    A reply on Talk: Tim Ferriss: Smash fear, learn anything

    Jun 28 2009: Though don't you think just by virtue of the fact that this guy has become the #1 bestseller on The New York Times, WSJ and Business Week, that he is onto something? There's definitely something we can learn from his unconventional success story. And I'm glad he's not hesitant to share, (even if he is making money off of it!)

    A reply on Talk: Paul Collier's new rules for rebuilding a broken nation

    Jun 25 2009: There are certainly research out there. However if you've been to a developing country - especially in Africa, you'd see in many places there are a lot of young men without work - they cannot bring home money, and because they are poor, they have little to offer for marriage, so many had to stay single. This is what we're seeing in Egypt, where unemployed men are turning to mosques and radical Islamist groups. I don't think his statement is bold at all.
