Global poverty, Paul Collier points out, is actually falling quite rapidly for about eighty percent of the world. The real crisis lies in a group of about 50 failing states, the bottom billion, whose problems defy traditional approaches to alleviating poverty. In The Bottom Billion, Collier contends that these fifty failed states pose the central challenge of the developing world in the twenty-first century. The book shines a much needed light on this group of small nations, largely unnoticed by the industrialized West, that are dropping further and further behind the majority of the world's people, often falling into an absolute decline in living standards. A struggle rages within each of these nation between reformers and corrupt leaders--and the corrupt are winning. Collier analyzes the causes of failure, pointing to a set of traps that snare these countries, including civil war, a dependence on the extraction and export of natural resources, and bad governance. Standard solutions do not work against these traps, he writes; aid is often ineffective, and globalization can actually make matters worse, driving development to more stable nations. What the bottom billion need, Collier argues, is a bold new plan supported by the Group of Eight industrialized nations. If failed states are ever to be helped, the G8 will have to adopt preferential trade policies, new laws against corruption, and new international charters, and even conduct carefully calibrated military interventions. As former director of research for the World Bank and current Director of the Center for the Study of African Economies at Oxford University, Paul Collier has spent a lifetime working to end global poverty. In The Bottom Billion, he offers real hope for solving one of the great humanitarian crises facing the world today.

评分看了这本书,觉得中国能有今天的成就,实在很偶然。看看那些国家怎样掉进发展的陷阱中,仿佛受到了什么样的诅咒一样。

评分在这本书中,有一种说法,叫“自然资源陷阱”,用以描述这样一种现象:依常理,一地若发现有丰富的自然资源,其带来的财富应该会给当地人带来福利。但实际却很少如此,恰恰相反,丰富的自然资源会更可能给当地人带来危害。 这是因为:1.在任何地方,充分的民主往往比...
评分关于导致贫穷的原因,左派的人一直认为是富人对穷人的剥削与压迫,而右派的人则认为是由于穷人自身的愚昧和懒惰。而在我看来,正所谓“致富的原因各各相似,贫穷的原因各各不同”, 刚开始的时候,穷人的产生可能是因为被剥削,可能是因为懒惰,可能是运气差,但如果持续贫穷,...

评分作者的用心之作。欠发达国家人口总量居然十亿了么?粗翻一过。
评分我看的那个ch写的太贱了。
评分book review@Uni Leipzig;通俗地介绍了为何穷国一直这么穷,一味热心而不动脑的援助是肯定解决不了问题的;原著说了中国这么多“坏话”,中文版肯定有所删节吧;作者认为耄以及其他大犭虫裁者对本国人民最大的贡献就是狗带了,读到这些简直差点没在办公桌电脑前笑出声来
