When we moved to the States, Flavia started covering State department and got to tour Africa with Clinton. Now it’s all over for me in terms of our ever being able to holiday in Italy or Asia again - she has the Africa bug. As it happens, the improved cookstove (and biodigester) initiative is championed by Clinton and focused on Least Developing Countries so her tireless lobbying for me to bear our first child in Tanzania is not completely implausible.
I give her five years to write a book on the continent. Love this quote on the cattle market:
“In such an economy your stock market is just that: livestock,” said Calestous Juma, a professor of international development at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “There is little to exchange except that one currency on the hoof.”
