Description
Global Development Is Succeeding--And How We Can Improve the World Even More The debate about global development has become increasingly polarised, with some arguing that economic growth is impossible to achieve in developing countries. However, economist Charles Kenny challenges this narrative by presenting a more nuanced picture of progress. Kenny highlights the significant improvements made in health, education, peace, liberty and happiness across the globe, largely thanks to the spread of cheap technologies and ideas such as vaccines, bed nets and political rights. By examining these transformations, Kenny shows that it is possible to make the world an even better place to live. While acknowledging that there is still much work to be done, Kenny's evidence suggests that improvements have spread far and can continue to do so with the right policies in place.
