And good local government is the best way to fight poverty. Historically, foreign aid has gone to central governments, not the people who needed it at the local level. It is frequently stolen by corrupt officials. Local governments, often weak in the developing world, ought to be best suited to spend the money to fight poverty. But they don't get the chance.
Local governments know better what to do for their own problems than central ones.
Those are my ideas, and at the NCPA we know ideas can change the world. I'm Pete du Pont, and I'll see you next time.
