Tech and Social Justice
January 16, 2007 ( grad )
I'm taking this course at Georgetown's equivalent to my tech policy program at GWU, based on the short description and title of the course - I mean, it's right up my alley! The syllabus, which I was finally able to access yesterday, leaves me a bit worried. The first things we're reading are Sachs' "End of Poverty" (What we've been doing hasn't worked because we haven't done enough of it!) and The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid (What the global poor really need is to be transformed into consumers!)
Ugh. Either this is "shock therapy" (like Sachs likes to use on country's economies by liberalizing them rapidly), or I'll be the class firebrand. I guess I need to read up on my Easterly!
