I got an email from a friend today asking for prayers for Kenya as it struggles in the violent aftermath of messed-up elections... and all I can think is that we had better all learn the lesson from this! In my mind, it's all about corruption.
Last summer, Vanity Fair published a whole issue devoted to Africa - including a really interesting article about Kenya by Binyavanga Wainaina, a native Kenyan. Its focus was on the crazy amount of corruption that goes on in Kenya. It was really interesting.
Coming from Minneapolis, the town of clean politics - because Hubert Humphrey cleaned it up back in the day - I have a strong sense that fair play is, really, good economics too!
