Can Technology Solve Global Poverty?
A joint project of Boston Review and MIT's Political Science Department. The media and international-development advocates can’t stop trumpeting information and communications technology for development (“ICT4D”). But, drawing on his field work in India, Kentaro Toyama argues that cell phones and the Web can take us only so far. Human capacity remains the foundation of economic growth. Joining the debate are Nicholas Negroponte, Rachel Glennerster, and José Gómez-Márquez. Archon Fung moderates.
