my generation's word for latin americans has been "underdeveloped," which is a polite way of saying backward. or as a u.s. ambassador reported from havana as the cold war was beginning in the 1940's, he said cubans possess the superficial charm of clever children, but under the surface they combine the worst characteristics of the spanish and negro cultures -- laziness, cruelty, irresponsibility, and inbred dishonesty. it is probably a sign of progress our diplomats no longer write sentences like that. but it has made writing this book a lot more difficult. what we have to do now is not look for people to say that they think cubans are an inferior people. you have to look at their words

it is small and underdeveloped. it is a network that almost any hacker group could take down. obama promised a counter reaction to the sony hacking. we can probably guess the u.s. was not behind us. if they were, they have sophistication of the north korean internet would still be down it would not have been able to recover it as quickly as they have. >> it could be a tit-for-tat scenario. >> given that both sides are increasing intentions, how far could this go? >> it depends on a couple of things. the most immediate thing, how long this chain of events continues. if things remain quiet, things could die down. we presumably won't be hearing about it for the foreseeable future. we need to keep an eye out for what evidence comes up. on both sides, presumably the i.t. people are looking to see who is behind these attacks. >> more than 17,000 people turned up in dresden for germany's largest anti-immigrant rally ever. several speakers complain about immigrants. >> a demonstration against extremism. that is what organizers have been claiming. the name of the group, short for patri

underdeveloped is the word they used but there are many of us a very few of whom who are here today that don't see it that way and some of us believe what makes this city special it's managed to maintain a decent amount of urban greenery and wild life. state street is a pedestrian corridor for corona heights and parks as well as commuters heading to and from castro station. it's also common to see tourist walking from the castro to haight wondering if they are going the right way. i would like them to enjoy the journey. i wonder if they will continue to come if they continue to fill all the spaces to boxy condominiums. >president cindy wu: next speaker. david aguilar. >> hello, i'm nicholas crawford, board certified with the -- company. i just wanted to provide a quick insight to the status of the two monterey cypress trees and state street side of the property. the tree removal applied for and staff level it was approved and because of the neighborhood protest triggered a hearing last week on monday. i just want to share that based on my own experience it's unclear whether those trees a

connected to the money they spend in this country and certainly in africa and other parts of the underdevelopedld. they end up -- >> yeah. absolutely. helping people is harder than it looks. there are a lot of things that don't achieve the help they are going for. i think that one of the advantages we have now, you know, a generation ago, come december people pull out their checkbo checkbook, write a check. these days, it's an investment. there is information out there. there are trials that give you a sense of what the return is going to be on your investment in a charity, if you will. i think, you know, there are going to be some of those investments that are going to go wrong as there are going to be some investments in the stock that go wrong. on the whole, i think, the returns are -- we can now have a much better sense of how to get good returns than we used to. >> why is it that you are hopeful americans will continue down this path when i could argue, if i have the time, for the sake of argument, we may be becoming more negative into the future? >> i think there is a risk that we could g

that we're actually undergoing a process -- we are a developed country underdeveloping.ecause what does development mean? first of all, if it doesn't mean -- how is the general population faring? what is the measure of their well-being? and if we look at stagnant declining real wages, if we look at families that can no longer support themselves without multiple jobs, without both spouses working, if we look at college -- college students deeply in debt in order to in theory get that degree with promises and that's an illusory promise to some degree, some upward mobility, it's that immediate idea that the media does not portray. >> how has the theory changed since the days of carnegie and rockefeller and the great industrialists of that period and today? >> i think during the first gilded ages, people called the robber barons, who are held in great suspicion. their motives were doubted. they seemed to behaving in ways that violated the notions of economic justice, of religious propriety. they seemed to be placing money before all else. they were buying supreme court justi

i wanted to about more about the relationship between underdevelopment, poverty, in the medical infrastructure in this country, but what is being done and what could be done to actually have a sustainable approach to ebola, addressing lack of capacity of the states? >> last question. >> hi, i'm a student in the advocacy program. my question is how ebola will act as a precedent on the global health platform and how it is basically going to set the stage for how people are going to react to potential outbreaks in the future? thank you. >> so we have lessons learned, capacity -- >> you are prescient because all the three questions are linked -- what have we learned, what about the global approach -- it relates a lot of what ron and i have both been saying about it is dramatic is crises like we are going through now which underscore what people have been saying for some time of building not only the kind of health care infrastructure, global health security agenda, infrastructure, not only from a health standpoint, but from a research standpoint. investment in research that will not have us to pla

i wanted to talk more about the relationship between underdevelopment poverty, lack of infrastructurein medical and garment in these countries and current crisis. what is being done, and what could be done to actually have a sustainable approach to ebola addressing lack of capacity of the states? >> last question. >> hi. my name is kelsey. i'm a master student in the bio medical science policy and add vo cosay program. how it's basically going to set the stage for how people react to potential outbreaks in the future. thank you. >> so we've got lessons learned, capacity and -- >> you oppressed them. all three are linked. what have we learned, what about the global approach to health? it relates to what ron and i have been saying about it's dramatic experiences like we're going through now which underscore what people have been saying some time of building not only the kind of health care infrastructure, global health security agenda, infrastructure, pep fall approaches not only from the health standpoint but research standpoint. the investment in research that will not have us playing

how important, what a role resources and building these health care systems and helping these underdeveloped countries get to a basic level of care, what a huge difference that can make, if you can cut the death rate from ebola in half by giving people i.v.'s. not what tony had been doing when he was treating nina pham, but just very basic care, that is a telling fact, a telling anecdote about this. so certainly, we need to make the investments in getting our health care system. the united states ready to deal with infectious disease, and we have to invest in countries around the world in getting that global health infrastructure in place and trying to address these long-term development issues as well. >> one last question. classes are ending this week. you go into exams next week. we are then going to be off for a little while. we will be back in about a month. advice for us as a university community? are there things that university like georgetown could do to contribute to the response to this challenge, this really urgent challenge that is particularly facing west africa, but raises a n

a lot of those underdeveloped economies may to broke. they may default. >> yeah, but david, i think terribly is relative term. people have been doubting china forever, six 1/2%. they didn't hold 7 1/2. six 1/2 is pretty good. david: venezuela is not china. i'm talking about countries like venezuela and greece. those things will go broke. >> their economy is not as big as china or u.s. or rest of europe for that matter. cheryl: michael what is your biggest concern? what is keeping you up at night when you look ahead tippiest fifth. >> interest rates. market interest rates and volatility. the fed is somewhat in a box in the united states. to the extent inflation remains low and growth remains anemic there is a limit how fast and how high they can raise short-term interest rates but they can probably do a little and may do a little going forward. if they raise 25, 50 basis points, even 1% federal funds rate i would argue so what. i don't think they will be able to go much beyond that. the rest of the world is in an easing phase. you have th

in the past, it was very easy to fight against weaker opponents because they were politically underdeveloped. that is how colonialism became imperialism and so far. we recently confront populations in different degrees of intensity are prepared to defend themselves and that makes the cost for us to difficult. who would've thought in 1940 -- 1945 and a country in which rebellion and violence predominates, it would take a decade for the united states to achieve its minimal objective. so that affects that style of leadership. beyond that, complexity and forces us to deal with many more issues and that has a bureaucratic effect. kennedy, kennedy's national security adviser had this staff probably a little larger than the number of deputies to the national security adviser. brent and i, kissinger, i don't know about your staff, but we have staff in terms of 40, 50 take a few senior officers who were responsible for different issues in parts of the world. today, this staff writ large is a little over 300 people. that creates a bureaucracy which the national security adviser finds it difficult to r

past decade which really has shown how intensively kind of cities and suburbs are developed and underdeveloped, you know, by -- there is a phrase i use, metropolitan preference in federal policymaking, which is all the federal policies that we think of. there is a certain political trend that thinks of rural america as intensely dependent on the federal government, which it is. look at the farm bill and you see all the ways that there is money flowing to people who have the land in rural america. but most of those people do not live in rural america. what we see in larger numbers is money that goes to underwrite the construction of suburbs that underwrite the construction of particular kinds of houses. one thing that i found that was really fha underwriting guidelines and what it took. this was exciting stuff. what it took to build a house that would be guaranteed by the federal housing administration which is the entity that basically in the postwar years will underwrite -- if you have fha approval, they will guarantee 80% of the bank loan. so if there is a foreclosure, the federal government

in the past it was very easy to fight against weaker opponents because they were politically underdeveloped. that's how colonialism became imperialism and so successful. today when we fight abroad, we increasingly confront populations that are politically awakened and in different degrees of intensity are prepared to defend themselves and oppose us, and that makes the cost for us so difficult. who would have thought in 1945 or in 1990, for example, that dealing with a backward country in which rebellion and violence predominates it would take a decade for the united states to achieve its minimal objectives and perhaps not even achieve them? so that, i think, affects the style of leadership. beyond that i think complexity forces us to deal simultaneously with many more issues. that has a bureaucratic effect. kennedy, kennedy's national security adviser had a staff probably just a little larger than the number of deputies to the national security adviser in the present administration. and brent and i and kissinger, we had staffs roughly in terms of 40, 50 senior officers who were responsible
