Development as it should be taught and understood If you are going to read one book only about world development, make sure this is the one. A momentous account of the current state of world development, told by one of the people who understand the topic best in the world. Sachs' decades in fighting poverty and advising developing countries have given him unrivalled insight into this topic; which the Columbia economist combines with expert knowledge of demography, geography, energy, climate, politics, agriculture and several other fields to provide the reader with a rich understanding. It is this multi-disciplinary approach that perhaps sets Sachs apart from other economists who so frequently fail to appreciate that there is more to solving the world's problems than fiscal austerity and "good governance." This book will surely be debated and discussed for years to come.
