Owen Bennett Jones introduces stories of economic risk and reward from around the world. Andrew Harding in Addis Ababa sees how much Ethiopia's prospects are brightening, although the outlook for human rights isn't so sunny; Rachel Wright hears the stories of some of the thousands of imprisoned drug offenders who might soon be released as the USA reconsiders its policy in the war on drugs; Lucy Ash learns that an apparently booming Algiers is still plagued by systemic unemployment and dependence on oil; and Justin Marozzi visits a hospital in Doha which shares out Qatar's largesse to its bird population - or to its elite hunting falcons, at least.
