Over the past century, global poverty has largely been viewed as a technical problem requiring only appropriate expert solutions. However, as Easterly argues, experts too often recommend ad hoc operations without addressing the systemic political factors that cause problems in the first place. Moreover, they form an unwitting collusion with benevolent autocrats, leaving them even more opportunities to violate the rights of the poor.

Easterly, author of the bestseller "The White Man's Burden," traces the history of the fight against global poverty, showing not only how the tactics used have trampled on the individual freedom of the poor around the world, but also how they have stifled the necessary debate on alternative approaches to solving poverty - freedom. Presenting a wealth of cutting-edge economic research, Easterly argues that only a new model of development, based on respect for the individual rights of people in developing countries, which at the same time accepts that unchecked state power is a problem, not a solution, will be able to end global poverty once and for all.
