The White Man's Burden by
William Easterly
A thought-provoking, strongly critical analysis of past failures and current
pitfalls in foreign aid. Makes a strong case for giving local people
opportunities to adapt political and economic development to their local
culture and conditions. Easterly makes the claim, disputed by some, that
previous aid programs have almost always done more harm than good.
The Mystery of Capital:
Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else, by
Hernando de Soto
An excellent explanation of the importance of rule of law to protect
property and businesses, vital for economic development. It also describes
the many obstacles that block hard working, innovative entrepreneurs in
developing nations. This book is at times somewhat repetitious, but the
basic ideas are extremely valuable and backed up with numerous examples.
 How to Change the World: Social
Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas, by David Bornstein
Describes the great potential of social entrepreneurship to help solve
persistent social problems with great effectiveness and very low cost. An
inspiring and eye-opening book.
