Microfinance has led us to focus on lending, but it can be hard for young companies to get big purely on bank loans, which consume cash flow that could be reinvested in the business. Supplying the missing middle will require backers who want to invest in companies rather than just lend to them.

Someone call the Modigliani-Miller police!

Am I the only one who think that both Ecuador and Venezuela (or rather its leadership, not the people) are in the wrong here, and that Columbia was fully within its rights to attack a terrorist camp harbored in another country when that country (i.e. Ecuador) was unwilling or unable to stop them?

And of course having Chavez giving aid to terrorists is quite damning.
