LEFT BEHIND - PAUL COLLIER GEBUNDEN

A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2024   The world-renowned economist offers a ground-breaking new
vision for inclusive prosperity   Left behind places can be found in prosperous countries-from
South Yorkshire  integral to the industrial revolution and now England's poorest county  to
Barranquilla  once Colombia's portal to the Caribbean and now struggling. More alarmingly  the
poorest countries in the world are diverging further from the rest of humanity than they were
at the start of this century. Why have these places fallen behind? And what can we do about it?
World-renowned development economist Paul Collier has spent his life working in neglected
communities. In this book he offers his candid diagnosis of why some regions and countries are
failing  and a new vision for how they can catch up. Collier lays the blame for widening
inequality on stale economic orthodoxies that prioritize market forces to revive left behind
regions  and on the arrogant  hands-off and one-size fits all approach of centralized
bureaucracies like the UK Treasury. As a result  Collier argues  the UK has become the most
unequal and unfair society in the western world.   Yet the core message of Left Behind is
hopeful: bringing together encouraging case studies of recovery from around the world  Collier
shows how renewal is achievable through a combination of collective learning  moral leadership
and local agency. With keen insight  he draws lessons from such seemingly disparate fields as
behavioural psychology  evolutionary biology and moral philosophy to share a bold  galvanizing
vision for a more inclusive  prosperous world.
