Um novo blogger

As the sun arcs over the Manhattan skyline and the markets start dancing nervously out of time, the lyrics I’ve been scribbling over breakfast have been removed and replaced by spreadsheets with large numbers in tiny font as we wrestle with EU budgets in advance of meetings later today with Presidents Sarkozy and Barroso. It’s hard to fight for increases in aid at times like this – but that’s what I’m here for this week… stick with me, while myself and others make our case that now is precisely the time to invest in the world’s poor. I’ll keep you posted.
Assim escreve Bono, o vocalista dos U2 e activista, no blog que mantém com Jeff Sachs, economista do Earth Institute da Universidade de Colúmbia, no Financial Times. Bono e Sachs assumiram a complicada tarefa de convencer os EUA, a UE e outras ricas a ajudarem os mais pobres neste tempos de crise financeira e incertezas. No blog escrevem sobre as suas viagens e encontros com personalidades e líderes políticos.
