'€œCollier has made a substantial contribution to current discussions. His evidence-based approach is a worthwhile corrective to the assumptions about democracy that too often tend to dominate when Western policy makers talk about the bottom billion.'€ '€”The New York Times Book Review '€œBefore President Obama makes a move he would do well to read Professor Paul Collier'€™s Wars, Guns, and Votes. . . Unlike many academics Collier comes up with very concrete proposals and some ingenious solutions.'€ '€” The Times (London) In Wars, Guns, and Votes, esteemed author Paul Collier offers a groundbreaking, radical look at the world'€™s most violent, corrupt societies, how they got that way, and what can be done to break the cycle. George Soros calls Paul Collier '€œone of the most original minds in the world today,'€ and Wars, Guns, and Votes, like Collier'€™s previous award-winning book The Bottom Billion, is essential reading for anyone interested in current events, war, poverty, economics, or international business.
