The Prosperity Paradox by: Clayton Christensen, Efosa Oremo, Karen Dillon Publisher: CITIC Publishing Group

Introduction · · · · · ·
Global poverty is one of the world's most intractable problems.

Existing solutions rely too much on trial and error, from education to health care, from infrastructure to eradicating corruption. We always find the areas that need help first, then flood these areas with massive resources, and then wait for success.

In this book, Clayton Christensen reveals a paradox: poverty alleviation itself is undoubtedly noble, but it has failed to produce consistent results and sometimes even made the problem worse - at least 20 countries in the world have become poorer as a result of the assistance they provided, and this has happened after receiving billions of dollars in aid.

Christensen points out a better way out of poverty: pioneering innovation.

Innovation not only builds a company, but also a country.

Businesses are in urgent need of viable long-term development, and the ideas in this book can help them discover opportunities for sustainable development progress in areas that have been overlooked.

"The Prosperity Paradox" is not just a business book, it is also a clarion call for action and a starting point for all those who seek to make the world a better and more prosperous place.
