The End of Poverty

In contrast to the failed small-self "structural adjustment" economic programmes of the World Bank and the IMF, Jeffrey D. Sachs offers a new paradigm of Clinical Economics based on his work in Bolivia, Poland, India, China, and Africa. In his book, The End of Poverty, he offers big-self solutions to the interwoven economic, political, environmental, and social problems that affect the world's poorest nations. This book is one of my all time favorites.

In April 2004, and again in April 2005, Professor Sachs was named as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time.
