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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good | William Easterly | Paperback | 9780143038825 | Used: Very Good | Economics 1591356 (temp: 24)","offer_id":48918301409432,"sku":"1591356","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71gwQX3CucL.jpg?v=1776978892","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/white-mans-burden-why-the-wests-efforts-to-aid-the-rest-have-done-so-much-ill-and-so-little-good","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
