Trade Review
Very important ideas based on extremely thorough empirical research...put him in the same camp as real heavyweights such as the Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz -- Misha Glenny * Guardian *
Collier comes up with very concrete proposals and some ingenious solutions * The Times *
Collier knows Africa intimately... It is hard to be unmoved by his anger about the world's blindness to realities, and his passion to do things better -- Max Hastings * Sunday Times *
With its verve, wit and lateral thinking, this is a book that changes its readers' horizons * Observer *
It is always a pleasure to discover Paul Collier's latest thoughts...always illuminating and grounded in rigorous social science...it's gripping stuff -- Allister Heath * Literary Review *
