The Plundered Planet: How to Reconcile Prosperity With Nature
Author(s): Paul Collier
How can we help poorer countries become richer without harming the planet? Is there a way of reconciling prosperity with nature?
World-renowned economist Paul Collier offers smart, surprising and above all realistic answers to this dilemma. Steering a path between the desires of unchecked profiteering and the romantic views of environmentalists, he explores creative ways to deal with poverty, overpopulation and climate change - showing that the solutions needn't cost the earth. The book proposes a radical rethinking of international policies and uniquely, offers real solutions backed up by real data from research Collier has spearheaded.
