Every four years since 2004, the Copenhagen Consensus Center has
organized and hosted a high profile thought experiment about how a
hypothetical extra $75 billion of development assistance money
might best be spent to solve twelve of the major crises facing the
world today. Collated in this specially commissioned book, a group
of more than 50 experts make their cases for investment, discussing
how to combat problems ranging from armed conflicts, corruption and
trade barriers, to natural disasters, hunger, education and climate
change. For each case, 'Alternative Perspectives' are also included
to provide a critique and make other suggestions for investment. In
addition, a panel of senior economists, including four Nobel
Laureates, rank the attractiveness of each policy proposal in terms
of its anticipated cost-benefit ratio. This thought-provoking book
opens up debate, encouraging readers to come up with their own
rankings and decide which solutions are smarter than others.
