Nice. All the Nations getting together to figure out why we are at unrest; why we don't feel 'good' or 'happy' (head banging on desk).

So, Nations, listen up:

Lack of gov. transparency

Fear of being incarcerated or jailed for speaking up

It has NOTHING to do with countries wanting to solve this. They won't. So quit wasting our tax dollars on your fancy parties and get down into the trenches and get your hands dirty with the 'little people'. Your answers are here, with us.

Great: locate a bunch of 'development' institutions in first world capital cities, providing numerous well paying highly elite jobs to 'experts', and plan how to 'improve' the world. So (neo)colonial! How can serious people still believe in the idea of progress anyway? Why don't you all starve in a famine.

A very encouraging development in the OECD which shows a positive evolution in our understanding of where development should be headed.
