'The ideas in this book have a hook you won't forget; the end of poverty
... in Jeff's hands, the millstone of opportunity around our necks
becomes an adventure, something doable and achievable' BONO

WE CAN END POVERTY BY 2025 ...

AND CHANGE THE WORLD FOREVER.

For the first time in history, our generation has the opportunity to end extreme poverty in the world's most desperate nasions. but how can we stop the cycle of bad health, bad dept and bad luck that holds back more than a billion people?

Jefrey D. Sachs, Special Advisor to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and probably the most important economist in the world'(THE NEW YORK TIMES) has the answers. He has travelled and worked in over 100 countries across the globe-from Afrika to India, Pland to Bolivia-advising leaders on economic development and proverty reduction.

Here he lays out how proverty has been beaten in the past, how-in realistic, attainable steps-we can make real difference for the one-fifth of humanity who still live in extreme poverty, how they can find partnership with their wealthy counterparts to escape the poverty trap, how little it will actually cost, and how every one can help.

THE END OF POVERTY IS A ROADMAP TO A MORE PROSPEROUS AND SECURE WORLD.
