Incluso en los países más desarrollados del mundo podemos encontrar regiones que se han quedado atrás: desde Yorkshire del Sur, un lugar que fue fundamental durante la Revolución Industrial y que ahora es el condado más empobrecido de Inglaterra, hasta Barranquilla, antaño la puerta de salida de Colombia al Caribe y que hoy se enfrenta a serias dificultades. Y todavía resulta más alarmante observar cómo han aumentado las desigualdades entre estas áreas y el resto del mundo a lo largo del último siglo. ¿Por qué nos hemos olvidado de estos lugares? ¿Y qué podemos hacer al respecto?

Let displaced Syrians join the labor market.

Proper stewardship of natural assets and liabilities is a matter of planetary urgency: natural resources have the potential either to transform the poorest countries or to tear them apart, while the carbon emissions and agricultural follies of the rich world could further impoverish them. The Plundered Planet charts a course between unchecked profiteering on the one hand and environmental romanticism on the other to offer realistic and sustainable solutions to dauntingly complex issues.

Paul Collier reveals that 50 failed states - home to the poorest one billion people on earth - pose the central challenge of the developing world in the 21st century. The book shines much-needed light on this group of small nations, largely unnoticed by the industrialized West, that are dropping further and further behind the majority of the world's people, often falling into an absolute decline in living standards.

Immigration is a simple economic equation, but its effects are complex. Sharply written and brilliantly clarifying, Exodus offers a provocative analysis of an issue that affects us all. It is one of the most pressing and controversial questions of our time - vehemently debated, steeped in ideology, profoundly divisive. Drawing on original research and case studies, Collier explores this volatile issue from three perspectives: that of the migrants themselves, that of the people they leave behind and that of the host societies where they relocate.

The idea that people are basically driven by individualism and economic incentives and that prosperity and good societies come from top-down leadership has dominated politics for the last 30 years (from some perspectives, much longer). This book shows that the age of homo economicus and centralisation is coming to an end. Instead, Collier and Kay argue that community and mutuality will be the drivers of successful societies in the future - as they are already in some parts of the world.
