«The Bottom Billion» is Paul Collier's essay on economics and development, published by OUP Oxford in hardcover (222 pages, in English).
Paul Collier studies why some fifty countries in crisis, home to the world's poorest population, lag behind the rest of the world. He identifies traps that ensnare them, such as civil war, dependence on natural resources, and poor governance, and proposes coordinated intervention by rich countries.
The book was published in 2007 and won the Lionel Gelber Prize, the Arthur Ross Book Award, and the Corine Internationaler Buchpreis in 2008.
Recommended for readers interested in development economics, international politics, and cooperation against poverty.
