"The point of my piece was that the story of global poverty is more
complex than you and Gates have been willing to acknowledge, and the
data do not support your narrative about neoliberal globalization.  Let
me elaborate on my key points here, to clear up any confusion, while
also addressing your specific comments."

Via Muse, who wrote: "ZINGO!!!! If you want to see someone precisely and
academically take apart the Steven Pinker and Bill Gates neo-liberal
cloud cuckoo land, this article does it in spades! Bravo!"
