| Summary: | Paul Collier estimates that 73 percent
of the poorest billion people in the world live in countries
affected by conflict. In this book 'The Bottom
Billion,' conflict is the first of the
'traps' responsible for keeping the populations of
some countries in poverty. The author argues that low or
negative economic growth in a country dramatically increases
the chance of conflict. |
