Yiggy posted:The other night I finished Jeffrey Sachs's The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities of our time. I thought it painted a pretty harrowing picture and made a compelling case of the need (and benefit to be gained) from increased effort to eliminate poverty by 2025. Maybe if I were an economist I would be on better ground to analyze his arguments, but from where I stand it seems pretty solid. I really wish the US was doing its part. I just finished The White Man's Burden by William Eastery (aka the Anti-Jeffrey Sachs) which is also good. It gives an interesting opposing viewpoint to Sachs. I don't really want to start a flame war over who is right, but I liked reading both as a point/counterpoint sort of thing.
