What Walt Rostow, the Aga Khan and Hernando de Soto Teach us about Bringing People Everywhere out of Poverty
Here are excerpts of a short speech I gave at the World Partnership Walk (hosted by the Aga Khan Foundation*) a few years ago to celebrate the bringing together of many peoples and cultures in this great experiment called Canada:
“One of the things I like most about Canada is how everyone from all nations get along in peace in this country.
When I was a boy I had the opportunity to meet Walt Rostow, a pioneering development economist in the 1950s and 1960s and the Aga Khan, the great philanthropist, when he visited our school. Later on, as an adult, I had the privilege of meeting Hernando de Soto, perhaps the foremost living development economist.
