How did you locate the identical post from last June?

Free Republic search function.

Stick the whole title in there (less your addition of the author's name)
and select "titles" as a search. Boom. Works every time.

Did you have a recollection of the article?

Did you have a recollection of the article?

Yes. Otherwise I'd not have searched it.

Are there other Greenfield articles that have been posted multiple times?

Sometimes Daniel posts an article on Frontpage, then expands it and reposts it on the Sultan Knish blog. Same title, but a lot more material.

"Microlending and financial literacy — what is this really about?" Buffett asks. "People will certainly learn how to integrate into our system of debt and repayment with interest. People will rise above making $2 a day to enter our world of goods and services so they can buy more. But doesn’t all this just feed the beast?"

I dare say this Buffet Jr is a complete A-hole.

Not aware of other duplicate posts. I was surprised, especially since I had posted it last June. I intend to ask the author about his reuse of posts.

Excellent article.

Interesting.
I'm not exactly sure what dots Greenberg is trying to connect with this piece.
Where I live, Tainan, Taiwan ROC, there is a lively group known as "recycle Amahs" who devote their time to scrounging through trash and pulling out the recyclable pieces for cash redemption at gov't funded points.
This includes newspaper, cardboard, plastic bottles and metal cans.
This allows them to A) make money and B) pull these items out for recycling.C) be a part of a society that largely does not want to think about the elderly and their monetary needs.

This is very important in a society which does not offer a substantial form of "social security" for the elderly.
And, it also allows many of these people to remain as an active and lively part of the society.

While I am certain that many would prefer not to have to do this to provide for their life costs; it does provide many of them with a valid reason to get up and do something each day.

My take is Daniel is belittling the romanticization of grinding poverty.

Thanks for the perspective.
I'll read the piece again with that in mind.
As always, I appreciate your posting his output.
