    The article discusses whether or not micro credit is helping people escape the poverty cycle, or whether it just forces them into further debt. The conclusion made is that maybe the micro banks should focus on savings instead of loans because "it is much harder to get in trouble by saving too much than by borrowing too much"

    This article discusses the benefits of foreign aid from the perspective of Bill Gates who has donated a large portion of his wealth to foreign aid and has also set up his own foundation. One of the points this article makes is that if aid is sent as vaccines or food rather than just money, it is harder for a corrupt dictator to use the aid for his own good.

    This article talks about how the reforms carried out in some Arab countries, have caused the rise in Foreign Direct Investment in those regions. FDI equaled $438.5 billion during 2005-2010, while it was only $67.2 billion during 1999-2004. However, the share of Arab region from global FDI is still low. It only equals 5%. This means that there is still a need of investments in those Arabian countries.
