Health cannot be bought at the supermarket. You have to invest in health. You have to get kids into schooling. You have to train health staff. You have to educate the population.

To get away from poverty, you need several things at the same time: school, health, and infrastructure - those are the public investments. And on the other side, you need market opportunities, information, employment, and human rights.

We must obviously be much more clever in using resources, regulate with tax and promote innovations.

When I have an argument with someone, even with someone I am not very close with, I can't sleep at night thinking about it. It's terrible.
