Georgia has business on its mind
2006-07-05
An entrepreneurial spirit is helping the former Soviet satellite come back from collapse .

Long Guardian piece on how Georgia has been turning itself around. They did it by cutting taxes, fixing their tax law, ensuring private ownership of property, helping internal refugees find work, and, through international NGOs, funding small businesses. Surprise. The Guardian plays up the NGO work but can't help but notice the rest. Think the Brits will wise up?
