Here is a fun exercise for when you can’t sleep. Imagine someone deposits $100 billion in your bank account with one simple goal: make the world a better place. What would you spend the money on? There’s of course no right or wrong answer. Bill Gates, who almost has that much to spend, chose to spend it on researching the unsexy (but laudable) topic of sanitation. Others would build schools, clinics, houses. Some development economists might say it's best to give kids in developing countries de-worming medicine or support school feeding programmes to improve their nutritional intake. Some might build rocket ships to send humankind to Mars.
