Global Crises, Global Solutions
Editorial Reviews
Review
The Economist selected Global Crises, Global Solutions as one of the best books in 2004. 'A hugely sensible book about global health and environmental problems, based on the 'Copenhagen Consensus' project documented in The Economist. Its authors, eminent economists, recognise that the resources to tackle such problems are finite and need to be applied where they are most likely to be effective. Better, for instance, to spend resources on the immediate problem of AIDS in Africa than the more distant one of global warming. This book is a healthy antidote to the narrow views of single-issue pressure groups.' The Economist
'Global Crises, Global Solutions is, therefore, worthwhile in that it offers an economic perspective on important problems in global policy.' The Lancet
'Whether you agree or disagree with the Copenhagen Consensus' analysis or conclusions, Global Crises, Global Solutions provides a serious, yet accessible, springboard for further debate and discussion.' African Business
