Overview videos:
• Poverty, Inc. trailer on webpage. DVD available and free on Amazon Prime.
• Hans Rosling’s TED talk on Magic Washing Machine. Key here is that current U.S. foreign aid and much NGO funding is tied to “sustainable” (i.e. green) energy sources which, though useful in some rural areas, puts affordable electricity out of reach for billions of women in poor countries who still wash clothes by hand.
• Hernando de Soto, Globalization at the Crossroads, looks at central role of property and contract legal institutions
These and other online videos are discussed in various Economic Thinking posts on the foreign aid topic.

REGULATION OR RESISTANCE?
A COUNTER-NARRATIVE OF CONSTITUTIONAL CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
ALICE RISTROPH∗
Consider the relevant constitutional provisions: the Fourth Amendment protects the right of the people to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures; the Fifth Amendment protects persons from compelled self-incrimination; the Sixth Amendment promises the assistance of counsel to individuals facing criminal prosecution. Each of these provisions is concerned with coercive state conduct against people or persons, but none identifies any particular coercer. (pp. 1558-1559)
