Betrayed takes a new approach to the subject of global poverty, one
that doesn't blame the West but also doesn't rely on the West for
solutions. Betrayed puts the poor themselves at center stage, and
shows how their entrepreneurial energies are shackled by political
and social discrimination. When these shackles are removed, as is
happening in places such as China and Vietnam, the poor are able to
seize opportunities and drive wealth creation. Combining the latest
research into poverty and state building with the author's personal
observations drawn from years running businesses in the developing
world, Betrayed explains how leaders in the developing world can
build more inclusive societies and more equitable governments,
thereby creating dynamic national economies and giving the poor the
opportunity to accumulate the means and skills to control their own
destinies. This refreshing new approach will appeal to business
people who are fed up with reading critiques of global poverty that
see capitalism as the problem, not the solution; people in both the
global North and South who want to see attention focused not on
Western aid but on what developing countries and their citizens can
do to help themselves; scholars and practitioners in the
development field who are looking for new, practicable ideas; and
general readers who want accessible and engaging accounts of
ordinary people struggling to overcome poverty.
