The world has many pressing problems. Thanks to the efforts of
governments, NGOs, and individual activists there is no shortage of
ideas for resolving them. However, even if all governments were
willing to spend more money on solving the problems, we cannot do
it all at once. We have to prioritize; and in order to do this we
need a better sense of the costs and benefits of each 'solution'.
This book offers a rigorous overview of twenty-three of the world's
biggest problems relating to the environment, governance,
economics, and health and population. Leading economists provide a
short survey of the state-of-the-art analysis and sketch out policy
solutions for which they provide cost-benefit ratios. A unique
feature is the provision of freely downloadable software which
allows readers to make their own cost-benefit calculations for
spending money to make the world a better place.
