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 Magazine"
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.
