This looks like a very valuable contribution to the debate we need. The website http://www.theendofpoverty.com is well worth browsing. Unfortunately, the page ‘organize an event’ is still “under construction”, but information about the DVD version ” … will be be posted in December 2009 and will be shared via email with those of you who have signed up for our newsletters”
