By college, I&#8217;d become a little more refined [...]]]></description>

While some call for nothing short of a revolution in how we deal with the financial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ll be the first to admit, this title is a little optimistic. However, recent events have, at the least, damaged the mainstream image of the current habits of the World Bank and IMF as actions that will save Latin America from crippling debt, poverty, and economic backwardness.
