The Bottom Billion

Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and What Can Be Done About It

Paul Collier

This book delves into the issue of global poverty in a unique way, focusing on the fifty failed states that are home to one billion of the world's poorest people. The author sheds light on how these nations are falling behind and offers insightful analysis into why standard solutions fail to work. He proposes a bold new plan that includes preferential trade policies, new laws against corruption, and military intervention. An essential read for anyone interested in global development and humanitarian issues.
