Aufstieg der Abgehängten

In Europe and around the world, there are places that were once prosperous but are now struggling: impoverished regions in wealthy countries, like South Yorkshire in England, or completely marginalized countries like Zambia and Colombia. In his eye-opening book, bestselling author Paul Collier explains why these regions have lost their economic footing and what needs to happen for them to catch up again. Through numerous examples, he demonstrates that common market-based assumptions are outdated, hinder development opportunities, and even exacerbate economic crises. To avert growing inequality and a looming global poverty problem, a new economic policy is needed that allows for individual solutions: Collier's regional economic approach highlights that social cohesion, shared goals, and rapid learning are the keys to a sustainable society that offers real opportunities for participation for all. It also presents a hopeful vision for a better world.
