Description

From probably the most world’s best-known development economists—an excoriating attack on the tragic hubris of the West’s efforts to enhance the lot of the so-called developing world

In his previous book, The Elusive Quest for Growth, William Easterly criticized the utter ineffectiveness of Western organizations to mitigate global poverty, and he was once promptly fired by his then-employer, the World Bank. The White Man’s Burden is his widely anticipated counterpunch—a brilliant and blistering indictment of the West’s economic policies for the world’s poor. Occasionally angry, Occasionally irreverent, but at all times clear-eyed and rigorous, Easterly argues that we in the West want to face our own history of ineptitude and draw the right kind conclusions, especially at a time when the question of our ability to transplant Western institutions has turn into one of the crucial pressing issues we are facing.
