Thank you.
We spend a lot of time talking about social responsibility in corporations, and I think that's good. I think there are checks and balances, and you mentioned some. There are plenty here. We keep your feet to the fire, and the IMF.... There are plenty of checks and balances.
To quote Adam Smith, and I'll paraphrase, it's not for the benefit of the butcher that the baker gets up at five o'clock in the morning. Let's face it, you're out there to make a profit, and that's all right, that's okay. I think you have a lot of competition. When you visit Africa, you'll see these beautiful stadiums that the Chinese built. They obviously have a way of winning the hearts and the minds of people too.
This study is not to find out whether you're being a good boy out there or not. I think there are a lot of people who always want to do that. I think we're doing the right thing. We can always do better.
What we need to know is why in so many parts of the world, and we're directing our study on Africa, they're stuck in perpetual poverty. Why is it that after 40 years of aid we can't seem to help these people? That's our heart's desire. Everybody wants the same thing. We want these people to experience the benefits of society where people can make a living and families can grow and develop.
What's going on? What are we doing wrong? You've got a chance to say “you've been battering me; now I'm going to tell you what you guys are doing wrong.” Why is it that South Korea is in the state it is today? Are we doing something wrong in our aid? Can we do something better to work alongside building economies, through generating wealth through what you talked about? That's my question.
