Over the last century, global poverty has largely been viewed as a
technical problem that merely requires the right expert" solutions.
Yet all too often, experts recommend solutions that fix immediate
problems without addressing the systemic political factors that
created them in the first place. Further, they produce an
accidental collusion with benevolent autocrats," leaving dictators
with yet more power to violate the rights of the poor.In The
Tyranny of Experts , economist William Easterly, bestselling author
of The White Man's Burden , traces the history of the fight against
global poverty, showing not only how these tactics have trampled
the individual freedom of the world's poor, but how in doing so
have suppressed a vital debate about an alternative approach to
solving poverty: freedom. Presenting a wealth of cutting-edge
economic research, Easterly argues that only a new model of
development,one predicated on respect for the individual rights of
people in developing countries, that understands that unchecked
state power is the problem and not the solution ,will be capable of
ending global poverty once and for all.
