- I was critical of a campaign on African food sovereignty recently. The Campaign for Boring Development, a blog that specialises on African agriculture, has a good post on the same topic.
- Did you hear about the CEO who cut his own pay by 90% in order to give all his employees a raise this week?
- Speaking of voluntary redistribution, Duncan Green points out that the Islamic tradition of charitable giving functions much like a global wealth tax.
- I wondered a couple of weeks ago if the ecological deficit might come up in the election. Not quite, but Labour are halfway there in promising that they would review resource depletion and its possible effects on the economy.

Thanks for the link to the Boring Development blog. Really interesting and quite different from a lot that gets posted.
