The real crisis lies in a group of about 50 failing states, the bottom billion, whose problems defy traditional approaches to alleviating poverty. Here, Collier contends that these fifty failed states pose the central challenge of the developing world in the twenty-first century. This group of small nations, largely unnoticed by the industrialized West, 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, and offers a bold new plan.--From publisher description. 650 0 Poor |zDeveloping countries. 650 0 Poverty |zDeveloping countries. 856 41 |3Table of contents only |uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip074/2006036630.html 856 42 |3Contributor biographical information |uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0723/2006036630-b.html 856 42 |3Publisher description |uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0723/2006036630-d.html 906 7 |bcbc |corignew |d1 |eecip |f20 |gy-gencatlg 942 |2ddc |cBK 955 sd05 2006-11-03; |isd05 2006-11-03 to SL;aa19 BCCD 580 HU OSA 318 - Donation of the International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6338_900917240000000_22_COL |70 |8GEN |919745OSA |bOSA |d2012-10-31 |eOSA |l0 |o338.9009172/4 22 COL |r2012-10-31 |t1 |w2012-10-31 |yBK |cGeneral Stacks 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6338_900917240000000_22_COL_2ND |70 |8GEN |920161OSA |bOSA |d2013-01-07 |eOSA |l0 |o338.9009172/4 22 COL 2nd copy |r2013-01-07 |t1 |w2013-01-07 |yBK |cGeneral Stacks 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6338_900917200000000_4_COL |70 |8HR |951784OSA |bOSA |d2015-08-06 |eIHF |l0 |o338.9009172/4 COL |r2015-08-06 |t1 |w2015-08-06 |yBK |cGeneral Stacks 920 01 BX9apnXk 992 01 338_900917240000000_22_COL |bWWR_QZZQYSXVZZZZZZZ_XX_NBE 966 |cIn the Research Room
