[lbo-talk] Amartya Sen and Wolfensohn on disability

[Marta Russell]

No doubt about it Patrick -- but one thing the World Bank is doing 
now is to see that any construction or reconstruction that gets done 
is wheelchair accessible.  They hired a disabled activist, Judy 
Heumann to guide them.  Now I am as suspicious as you might be that 
this is window dressing for the most part.  However, consciousness 
raising is important and so I posted the article.
best,
Marta
