Short cuts...

1. It seems that Peru is following Chinese-style reforms concerning the unpunctuality of their citizens... another attempt to change informal institutions!

2. De Rato's view on the necessary steps to be taken in Latin America given its actual economic performance. I like this excerpt:

"Where progress has not been made, the problem is often that reforms have not gone far enough, and that many reforms are incomplete."

After reading it, a lot of questions come to my mind: We all agree in the macro reforms... what about the micro ones? Why don't they start thinking about the sort of political problems those countries face to engage into these kind of reforms?

3. Xavier Sala-i-Martin is starting an interesting series of articles (in Spanish, though) about climate change... the debate is on the table!
