William Easterly is this weeks guest on EconTalk. He talks with Russ Roberts about Growth, Poverty, and Aid.
William Easterly of New York University and author of The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good, and The Elusive Quest for Growth: Economists' Adventures and Misadventures in the Tropics, talks about why some nations escape poverty while others do not, why aid almost always fails to create growth, and what can realistically be done to help the poorest people in the world. Easterly's view is in contrast with the optimism of Paul Collier.
