Bookshelf migration
After waiting and hoping that bookshelf service will eventually get better I decided to switch books to new service. Even there is some export / import option I spend few hours to settle it. New service, Goodreads.com, gives much more than the old one, Anobii and hope to get the best out of it.

Why poor countries are poor
“We still don’t have a good word to describe what is missing in Cameroon, indeed, in poor countries across the world. But we are starting to understand what it is. Some people call it “social capital,” or maybe “trust.” Others call it “the rule of law,” or “institutions.” But these are just labels. The problem is that Cameroon, like other poor countries, is a topsy-turvy world in which it’s in most people’s interest to take action that directly or indirectly damages everyone else. The incentives to create wealth in any way at all are turned on their heads just as surely at the roof of the school library.
