  TED talk that backs up a lot of the points of Dead Aid. (Also kind of funny that he shoots down Bono.)

  Just watched Hans Rosling’s TED video on statistics on developing countries over the last 40 years. It’s great fun and a must-watch for anyone doing NextBillions stuff (or interested in the use of dynamic visualizations): http://www.gapminder.org/videos/ted-talks/hans-rosling-ted-2006-debunking-myths-about-the-third-world/
