The latest Econtalk features Oxford’s Paul Collier, author of “The Bottom Billion”. Paul outlines the four factors he has identified that largely account for the 58 countries that are stuck in poverty. Plus prescriptions that his research indicates may actually work, unlike historical foreign aid. Highly recommended.
