yeah, great post. dovetails into a lot of things i think about all the time. Naturally, i always think about Jane Jacobs, in this case her writings about, essentially, microeconomics. Artificially propped up economies tied to oversize nation states can drown out the kind of small scale innovation which moves the world forward in an actually interesting way. Unglamorous and tedious as it might be to figure out how to fix a moped with a dull drill bit and the wrong size bolts. i'd love to know what she would have said about the favela. But, i'm content with what you have to say about them, and i'm inspired to read more.
