The Bottom Billion focuses on the specific problems of the 50 poorest states in the world and the traps that keep them impoverished.

Drawing on his original research, Collier points out the pitfalls of the conventional methods for dealing with this extreme poverty and offers unique policy recommendations that cater to the unique struggles faced by the world’s poorest nations.
