Grant freedom

Every once in a while you hear an interesting, refreshing thought on a subject. Someone has taken an angle to a subject you did not think of yourself. In the documentary Tegenlicht: "Het ei van De Soto" for me such an interesting angle was taken on the subject of fighting poverty. I saw the documentary based on a recommandation of a friend, and I think it is a must see if you are interested in globally fighting poverty. It discusses fighting poverty not through aid, but through law by granting poor people by law the possessions they already physically own. Maybe it is not the whole answer, and not everywhere and not anytime, but it is certainly a road that deserves much more attention than it gets.
