Question: The 2005 activism around G-8, Will it lead to a "tipping point" which ends extreme global poverty? CPNN article: Our Generation Can End World Poverty

Unfortunately, probably not. Perhaps the world does follow the lead of its celebrities in social causes as well as hairstyles, clothing and slang, but the majority of African leaders that I heard said "trade not aid", and there was little progress in that area. Also giving African musicians a chance to perform for such a wide, affluent audience would have helped these struggling musicians have their voices heard.

On a similar subject, I read that Tsunami relief is benefiting corporate fisheries rather than the displaced individual fishermen.
