Important message in SSIR from Kevin Starr and Laura Hattendorf at Mulago on the importance of choice and agency in fighting poverty: Choice is a good thing; the notion that poor people must simply take whatever we feel like giving them is odious and wrong. However, a blind belief that “people always know best” ignores the reality that when you don’t have access to high-quality education, information, and products, it can be hard to make optimal decisions and take effective action. The poor don’t spend the cash on stupid things; they just may not have access to great things. ssireview.org/blog/entry/givedirectly_not_so_fast
