Hernando de Soto is one of the most sought-after development advisors in the Third World and has been called the poor man's capitalist. His main credo is that the poor of the world are not as poor as we think. Author of The Mystery of Capital, de Soto will discuss why globalization has worked in the West and faltered everywhere else. Modern day contrarian, Christopher Hitchens, writes about another famous contrarian, George Orwell. Hitchens discusses Why George Orwell Matters and explains his frustrations with the left on going to war with Iraq. Also, editor-in-chief of the New Republic, Martin Peretz, says the road to Jerusalem is through Baghdad.
