The Big Question of the Week: Are these poverty myths really myths?

At the end of each episode I pose a question to you, the listening audience. This question, aptly titled “The Big Question of the Week” is your chance to interact with The Sector by commenting, answering, or offering your two cents on the Big Question. You can participate on Facebook, Twitter, or by emailing in or even just commenting on this post.

Big Question of the Week: Do you agree with Bill Gates about the poverty myths – that poor countries doomed to stay poor, that foreign aid is a big waste, that saving lives leads to over population.

Take a look at Bill and Melinda Gates’ annual 2014 letter here and check out the videos, which we played on the show, where these myths are discussed.
