...every era, this concept has been a volatile mix of aspiration and ambition, ignorance and illusion--an abstraction that the majority of the country is "supposedly" striving for, but which in the corporal world is so elusive as to often be downright fictitious. Though the scenery undoubtedly changes with the century, (by societal standards, "making it" is no longer measured by indoor plumbing and a fashionable buggy, but by a Mercedes and a company in the Valley--Silicon, of course), the latent content of the Dream remains the same.

...practice much of the current debt relief is still tied to the implementation of austerity programs that critics say exacerbate the impact of poverty in the developing world. Others counter that the only developing countries that have shown signs of growth have been those that achieved the right policy mix, and that debt relief should remain conditional on policy changes...
