The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities for Our Time

A landmark exploration of the way out of extreme poverty for the world?s poorest citizens

Among the most eagerly anticipated books of any year, this landmark exploration of prosperity and poverty distills the life work of an economist Time calls one of the world?s 100 most influential people. Sachs?s aim is nothing less than to deliver a big picture of how societies emerge from poverty. To do so he takes readers in his footsteps, explaining his work in Bolivia, Russia, India, China, and Africa, while offering an integrated set of solutions for the interwoven economic, political, environmental, and social problems that challenge the poorest countries. Marrying passionate storytelling with rigorous analysis and a vision as pragmatic as it is fiercely moral, The End of Poverty is a truly indispensable work.

This should be required reading for anyone living in a first world country. Admittedly I was very naive regarding the current state of world poverty. I had no idea such a large percentage of the world still lives on $2 a day or less!...
