The Divide: Global Inequality from Conquest to Free Markets

The book challenges the prevailing narrative surrounding global poverty, arguing that it is not merely a result of natural factors like climate or culture. Instead, it critiques the simplistic solutions of aid and policy changes, suggesting that these approaches fail to address the deeper systemic issues that keep billions in poverty. By examining the complexities of economic disparity, it calls for a reevaluation of how we understand and tackle poverty on a global scale.
