{"product_id":"2940170715626","title":"The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good","description":"In his previous book, \u003ci\u003eThe Elusive Quest for Growth\u003c\/i\u003e, William Easterly criticized the utter ineffectiveness of Western organizations to mitigate global poverty, and he was promptly fired by his then-employer, the World Bank. \u003ci\u003eThe White Man's Burden\u003c\/i\u003e is his widely anticipated counterpunchamp;mdash;a brilliant and blistering indictment of the West's economic policies for the world's poor. Sometimes angry, sometimes irreverent, but always clear-eyed and rigorous, Easterly argues that we in the West need to face our own history of ineptitude and draw the proper conclusions, especially at a time when the question of our ability to transplant Western institutions has become one of the most pressing issues we face.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47117441630448,"sku":"2940170715626","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170715626_p0.jpg?v=1763815175","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170715626","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
