The Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and What Can Be Done About It

The Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and What Can Be Done About It

Paul Collier

U univerzalno hvaljenoj i nagrađivanoj The Bottom Billion, Paul Collier otkriva da pedeset propalih država--domovine za jednu milijardu najsiromašnijih ljudi na Zemlji-predstavljaju središnji izazov svijeta u razvoju u dvadeset i prvom stoljeću.

Knjiga baca prijeko potrebno svjetlo na ovu skupinu malih nacija, uglavnom nezapaženih od strane industrijaliziranog Zapada, koje sve više zaostaju za većinom ljudi svijeta, često padajući u apsolutni pad životnog standarda. U svakoj od ovih nacija bjesni borba između reformatora i korumpiranih vođa, a korumpirani pobjeđuju. Collier analizira uzroke neuspjeha, ukazujući na niz zamki koje su uhvatile te zemlje, uključujući građanski rat, ovisnost o vađenju i izvozu prirodnih resursa i loše upravljanje.
