Editor's Notes
- I’m child of 70’s – children in Africa starving
- The aphorism "a rising tide lifts all boats" is associated with the idea that improvements in the general economy will benefit all participants in that economy, and that economic policy, particularly government economic policy, should therefore focus on the general macroeconomic environment first and foremost.
- What can you do? What could we do together?
