Review of: The Bottom billion : why the poorest countries are failing and what can be done about it by Collier, Paul
An important book on an essential subject. Collier masterfully reviews the academic literature on development and identifies four statistically significant “traps” that cause nations to remain in poverty. For all its insight, though, this book would be better if informed by a wider range of disciplines and cultural perspectives.
