When the son of the president of a desperately poor country starts buying mansions
and sportscars on an official monthly salary of $7,000, Charmian Gooch suggests,
corruption is probably somewhere in the picture. In a blistering, eye-opening talk
(and through several specific examples), she details how global corruption trackers
follow the money -- to some surprisingly familiar faces.

Charmian Gooch is co-founder of Global Witness (http://www.globalwitness.org/) .

** Quote of the Day
------------------------------------------------------------
“

Reason helps us to understand that other people, wherever they are, are like us,
that they can suffer as we can. … Reason is not just some neutral tool to help you
get whatever you want. It also helps us to put perspective on our situation."
Peter Singer
