198: Things Could Get Complicated

Bill Clinton and Haitian Textile Manufacturing Plans

Former President Bill Clinton, acting as UN envoy to Haiti, discusses the progress of earthquake recovery efforts and the management of $8 billion in aid. Clinton outlines a plan to move textile manufacturing from Asia to Haiti to take advantage of proximity to the United States. Critics argue the plan focuses on corporate interests and cheap labor rather than immediate humanitarian needs like sanitation for millions living in tent camps during the rainy season.
