the bottom billion
Just bought this book for the world rebel in our family. I plan on reading it this Summer after she is done and I encourage you to add it to your list.
The Bottom Billion is a book by Professor Paul Collier exploring “Why the poorest countries are failing and what can be done about it”.
The book suggests that, whereas the majority of the 5-billion people in the “developing world” are getting richer at an unprecedented rate, a group of countries (mostly in Africa and Central Asia but with a smattering elsewhere)[1] are stuck and that development assistance should be focused heavily on them.
