Paul Collier is Professor of Economics at Oxford University. When he released 'The Bottom Billion', he significantly changed the way that poverty in world's poorest countries is perceived. Now, with 'The Plundered Planet', he is back with an even bigger ambition: to reconcile the needs of the ever-growing global population with a sustainable environmental future. Collier provides an ethical framework on which to agree future policy and based on his own ground-breaking research into these issues, offers realistic and sustainable solutions.
