Sachs vs. Easterly Battle Getting More Interesting

For years Jeff Sachs has been tirelessly, and for the most part evidence-lessly, plugging his big push-types of ideas for foreign aid, all the while heckled from the stands by a more amusing, regression-toting (and much better coiffed) Bill Easterly.

However as an article in today's New York Times discusses, many of those Millennium Villages that Sachs is sponsoring are looking pretty good! There are still excellent Easterly counter-points that the article reviews, but you have to admit it is not quite as easy to roll your eyes at the Sachs camp these days... What do you think?
