    <body><![CDATA[I just read a part where the author goes on and on using Western financial standards to judge the standard of living in third world countries. And how real estate developers look at shanty towns as opportunities, but then not realizing the the people who are living in these areas cannot afford them.  These are peoples not yet tainted with the notion of &quot;property,&quot; but somehow they would be better off with all of the problems of western life.  He should be more subjective.<br/><br/>One part I found interesting is how microloans to women in &quot;developing countries&quot; are more likely to be paid back than other types of loans to other demographics.<br/><br/>The very last chapter of the book is the most interesting because it is not a bunch of dry facts (littered ultra capitalist, bourgeois opinions) like the rest of the book.]]></body>
