The Mirage at the Bottom of the Pyramid
Good article. The theory of the fortune at bottom of pyramid is false. "Social" is an abused term, every one uses it without doing justice to it.

The best reads are on-line!
When I look at what I actually do read, it's mostly on line. At the top of the list, of course, Savings-revolution.org. How could I not read that!? But also an obvious choice that just keeps coming with smart careful writing, "David Roodman's Microfinance Open Book Blog." Since it is continually evolving, it counts as a 2011 read even if it began before that. Finally, there are some tweeters I always follow up when I go to my Twitter stream: @reach_global, @nickkristof and @aprilrinne are always worth clicking through. Their remarks touch on pro-poor finance, but cover a wide range of topics, including their holiday pictures!
