THE GREAT SURGE
The Ascent of the World‘s Developing Countries
In The Great Surge, Steven Radelet, a distinguished expert and advisor to developing nations tells the untold story of the global poor today. Radelet reveals how we’ve reduced poverty, increased incomes, improved health, curbed violence, and spread democracy—and how we can continue to ensure the improvements continue.
Never before have so many people, in so many developing countries, made so much progress. Most people believe the opposite but a major transformation is underway—and has been for two decades now. Since the early 1990s more than 700 million people have been lifted out of extreme poverty, six million fewer children die every year from disease, millions more people have access to clean water, and democracy -- often fragile and imperfect -- has become the norm in developing countries around the world.
THE GREAT SURGE tells the story of this unprecedented economic, social, and political transformation. most importantly, the book reveals how we can fight the changing tides of climate change, economic and political mismanagement, and demographic pressures to accelerate the political, economic, and social development that has been helping the poorest of the poor around the world.
Steven Radelet has worked with developing countries in Africa and Asia to curb debt, reduce poverty, and increase economic growth. He currently serves as an economic adviser to the Presidents of Liberia and Malawi and previously served as the adviser to the Ministries of Finance in The Gambia and Indonesia. He is a Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Development. His work focuses on economic growth, poverty reduction, foreign aid, and debt, primarily in Africa and Asia.
Radelet has extensive experience as a policy maker in the U.S. Government; as an adviser to developing country leaders. He previously served as Chief Economist for USAID, Senior Adviser for Development to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development, and Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Africa, the Middle East and Asia. He is author of EMERGING AFRICA: How 17 Countries Are Leading the Way.
