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\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143038825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.56w x 0.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2007 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooks \u0026amp; Culture\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"William Easterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36634883162268,"sku":"9780143038825","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a2457599-f0f0-49e6-886a-adbe4ebebc60.jpg?v=1603837907","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-white-mans-burden-why-the-wests-efforts-to-aid-the-rest-have-done-so-much-ill-and-so-little-good-9780143038825","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
