In the universally acclaimed and award-winning The Bottom Billion , Paul Collier reveals that fifty failed states--home to the poorest one billion people on Earth--pose the central challenge of the developing world in the twenty-first century. The book shines much-needed light on this group of small nations, largely unnoticed by the industrialized West, that are dropping further and further behind the majority of the world's people, often falling into an absolute decline in living standards. A struggle rages within each of these nations between reformers and corrupt leaders--and the corrupt are winning. Collier analyzes the causes of failure, pointing to a set of traps that ensnare these countries, including civil war, a dependence on the extraction and export of natural resources, and bad governance. Standard solutions do not work, he writes; aid is often ineffective, and globalization can actually make matters worse, driving development to more stable nations. What the bottom billion need, Collier argues, is a bold new plan supported by the Group of Eight industrialized nations. If failed states are ever to be helped, the G8 will have to adopt preferential trade policies, new laws against corruption, new international charters, and even conduct carefully calibrated military interventions. Collier has spent a lifetime working to end global poverty. In The Bottom Billion , he offers real hope for solving one of the great humanitarian crises facing the world today.
"Terrifically readable."
-- Time.com
"Set to become a classic. Crammed with statistical nuggets and common sense, his book should be compulsory reading."
-- The Economist
"If Sachs seems too saintly and Easterly too cynical, then Collier is the authentic old Africa hand: he knows the terrain and has a keen ear.... If you've ever found yourself on one side or the other of those arguments--and who hasn't?--then you simply must read this book."
--Niall Ferguson, The New York Times Book Review
"Rich in both analysis and recommendations.... Read this book. You will learn much you do not know. It will also change the way you look at the tragedy of persistent poverty in a world of plenty."
Censorship无处不在，无话可说。 请诸君看正文： 1. 第三章，第三节（那么这算是倒退回...），第二段，第四句起： The astonishing success of China glows like a beacon to some of the autocrats of bottom-billion societies, but it is a radically misleading comparison...

Personally, Collier’s ideas make me feel like short on growth factor. Since these unrealized industrialized countries are falling further and further behind the standard living norm. The democratic leadership factors are just a part of equipment on tacklin...

语言简洁又带有个人风格的一本有趣的书，作者总结的四个traps和对应的四个instruments都很有启发性。虽然在应对bottom billion的策略上还是众说纷纭，但正如作者所肯定的，援助是一项利大于弊的措施。去过非洲之后，对这块大陆和世界版图的格局有了更多的兴趣和认知。
