His book Forgotten Continent: The Battle for Latin America's Soul was published by Yale University Press in November 2007.Mr Michael Reid, The Economist website, accessed 23 Jan 2010 
==Views and activities==
Reid's book, Forgotten Continent, presents a history of Latin America which is critical of the "dependency theory analysts", suggesting that the best model for Latin America is a mixture of liberal democracy and neoliberal economics. It is highly critical of developments in Venezuela which are termed populist. 
On 10 July 2006, BBC2 ran a series entitled "Lefties". Michael Reid was interviewed for the series, and in the program stated: "The idea was that there would be a revolution. One was always a little bit vague about exactly what form that might take in Britain, maybe a general strike or whatever. It sounds and it was wildly utopian."Lefties: Property is Theft, BBC Two, 10 July 2006 7pm-8pm

Michael Semple

::Michael Semple, an EU official arrested by the Afghan government on Christmas Day last year, said he was confident that most Taliban-linked insurgents could be absorbed into Afghanistan's reconciliation process.
::In his first interview with a British news organisation since he was forced to leave Afghanistan by the government of President Hamid Karzai, Semple defended his role in talking to elements linked to the Taliban. Until 2003 he had been a senior political adviser to the British high commission in Islamabad.
::Semple told the Guardian that he and the UN official Mervyn Patterson, who was also expelled, were victims of local politics. He said a local leader in Helmand province falsely blamed them for talking to what he described as "one of the irreconcilables" in the conflict. They had, he said, opened no such channel to al-Qaida-linked Taliban.
::"There is a critical difference between what is discreet and what is covert," Semple said. "What we were doing was simply discreet because that was what was required. But it was totally in line with official policy to bring people in from the cold."We can persuade Taliban to be peaceful - expelled EU man, by Henry McDonald, The Guardian, 16 February 2008.
