Optimism for the Bottom Billion

Paul Collier shares his optimism for the future of the bottom billion, emphasizing the need for effective instruments beyond aid. He urges societies to take the issue seriously and draw inspiration from America's successful efforts in post-World War II Europe. By implementing changes in trade policy, security, governance attitudes, and aid programs, Collier believes the problem is fixable and that the societies of the bottom billion will look very different in 20 years.
