The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities For Our Time







This book was recommended to me by the organization I posted about below; I'm only 40 pages in and this book is already challenging and tremendous. It keeps a good overview of 6 different countries and their current state in extreme poverty and different countries have started to ascend from it. Jeffrey Sachs' goal is to end poverty by 2025 per the Millenium Development Goals set forth by the U.N. Sachs is the Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University and an advisor to Kofi Anan.

Josh, how are you liking the book? This guy seems like he is underestimating the problem and overestimating his ability.
