Subject: Gujarat--who decides?
> Hello to far-flung friends and colleagues--whose discussion

> moot issue--or at least The Times of India carried a story
> (3/18/01, p. 3) to this effect:
>
> " 'They have told us that there should not be any
> involuntary resettlement of the people. They know that our
> packages talk of consulting people before any relocation
> takes place. They are happy about it,' said a government
> source."
>
> Bank officials are surely less happy about the state

>
> I've raised some questions about money and democracy, and
