“I get a lot of hate mail, death threats and rape threats..I think the violence of their response to me reflects just how frightened they are by these ideas.

When you're young and impressionable, you pick your models...It's like a candy store. There's no such thing as originality. If you're striving for it, you're a bloody idiot! Save for a number of African dictators, hardly anything seems to last more than 20...

Paul Collier
"The idea that the World Bank is some sort of right-wing American institution set to serve the Western policy to crash Africa is a fantasy that collides against the reality of the people actually making these policies...It's sort of a convenient whipping boy for...
