Les pays pauvres sont-ils condamnés à le rester ?

William Easterly explores a long-standing problem that has fooled economists since the end of World War II; namely, how to help poor countries in the tropics attain a standard of living approaching those of Europe and North America. In this book Easterly shows how all previously attempted solutions, from foreign aid to population control, violate the basic principle of economics: That people respond to incentives. Written in an accessible, at times irreverent, style, Easterly's book combines modern growth theory with anecdotes from his fieldwork for the World Bank. Acclaimed by renowned economists as an important contribution to the field of development economics.
