Some Basic Disagreements on Development

Once upon a time I made a list of ten policies which I thought more-or-less everyone in Washington could agree were needed more-or-less everywhere in Latin America. I found a common interpretation of what I had written to be quite extraordinary, indeed largely the contrary of what I was arguing, so rather than try once again to stress the things on which we agree, let me try analyzing the disagreements that I see as most important today. On some of these I have firm views of which side is right, while on others my present views are agnostic, but in all cases I endeavor to present what I see as the basic issues that need to be resolved if dissensus is to give way to consensus.
