Phil Paine has posted on his blog two new pieces worth reading. One is on microlending, where lenders strategically lend small amounts of money to entrepreneurs in poor parts of the world, and on a development that makes it easy to take part in microfinance.
The second is a critique on the usual distinction made between "simple" egalitarian societies and "complex" entities like empires.
Both are highly recommended.
