La parte mas pobre de la poblacion mundial, nada menos que el 46 %, solo posee el 1,2 % de la renta global. Su poder adquisitivo por persona y dia es insignificante. Y muchos de ellos ni siquiera tienen suficiente comida para sobrevivir. Un tercio de todas las muertes humanas son ocasionadas por causas relacionadas con la pobreza: dieciocho millones al ano, entre las que se incluyen las de doce millones de ninos menores de cinco anos. En el otro extremo, el 15 % de la humanidad perteneciente a las clases mas altas posee el 80 % de la renta global. Dedicar un uno o un dos por ciento de nuestra porcion a la erradicacion de la pobreza parece una obligacion moral. Aun asi, la prosperidad de los mas favorecidos esta provocando un crecimiento de la desigualdad global, aunque la mayoria de los ricos cree que no tiene responsabilidad alguna al respecto. El libro de Pogge pretende explicar por que se mantiene en pie esa creencia. Para ello, analiza la forma en que se han configurado nuestras teorias morales y economicas con el fin de que nos sintamos desvinculados de la pobreza absoluta que subsiste fuera de nuestras fronteras. Y, al disipar esa ilusion, tambien ofrece un criterio modesto y ampliamente compartible de la justicia economica global, elaborando propuestas detalladas y realistas capaces de satisfacerlo.
The power of the gospel to transform individual lives has been evident throughout New Testament history. But what of the darkness and poverty that enslave entire nations? Miller builds a powerful, convincing thesis that God's truth can free whole societies from deception and poverty. Excellent study of worldviews!
Focusing on the term empowerment this book examines the various meanings given to the concept of empowerment and the many ways power can be expressed - in personal relationships and in wider social interactions.
Brilliant and engagingly written, Why Nations Fail answers the question that has stumped the experts for centuries: Why are some nations rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine? Is it culture, the weather, geography? Perhaps ignorance of what the right policies are? Simply, no. None of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Otherwise, how to explain why Botswana has become one of the fastest growing countries in the world, while other African nations, such as Zimbabwe, the Congo, and Sierra Leone, are mired in poverty and violence? Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson conclusively show that it is man-made political and economic institutions that underlie economic success (or lack of it). Korea, to take just one of their fascinating examples, is a remarkably homogeneous nation, yet the people of North Korea are among the poorest on earth while their brothers and sisters in South Korea are among the richest. The south forged a society that created incentives, rewarded innovation, and allowed everyone to participate in economic opportunities. The economic success thus spurred was sustained because the government became accountable and responsive to citizens and the great mass of people. Sadly, the people of the north have endured decades of famine, political repression, and very different economic institutions—with no end in sight. The differences between the Koreas is due to the politics that created these completely different institutional trajectories. Based on fifteen years of original research Acemoglu and Robinson marshall extraordinary historical evidence from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, medieval Venice, the Soviet Union, Latin America, England, Europe, the United States, and Africa to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, including: - China has built an authoritarian growth machine. Will it continue to grow at such high speed and overwhelm the West? - Are America’s best days behind it? Are we moving from a virtuous circle in which efforts by elites to aggrandize power are resisted to a vicious one that enriches and empowers a small minority? - What is the most effective way to help move billions of people from the rut of poverty to prosperity? More philanthropy from the wealthy nations of the West? Or learning the hard-won lessons of Acemoglu and Robinson’s breakthrough ideas on the interplay between inclusive political and economic institutions? Why Nations Fail will change the way you look at—and understand—the world.
