In one of these communities, a family of eight struggles to get by with the little money the family makes as tenant farmers. Overtime, situations such as these have been bettered thanks to the Millennium Development Goals, but there is room for further achievement. Since the implementation of the Millennium Development…

Many political actors and states view the world as a dangerous place and only the strong will survive. The international community is characterized as an anarchy- no world government ruling.

Ignoring the idea that freedom and human rights are what have generated much of the growth in the west, third world experts’ “blank-slate” mentality fails to utilize history to the advantage of poorer nations. Easterly further argues that so-called development experts place their focus on nations rather than people when trying to alleviate poverty, and in the process trample rights of individuals. Continuing his critique, Easterly asserts that the overall manipulation of economies through…
