5.0 out of 5 stars equality, the third world and economic delusion, August 27, 2008
This review is from: Equality, the Third World, and Economic Delusion (Paperback)
this is a gem, and absolute classic. Chapter 1, entitled "The Grail of Equality" is alone worth the cost of the book. Peter Bauer is an excellent writer and his exposure of the foreign aid mess is a salutary lesson on the incompetence of governments to end poverty.

Buy this book as soon as you can.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential, March 25, 2009
This review is from: Equality, the Third World, and Economic Delusion (Paperback)
If you need a primer on foreign aid this is the book for you. Bauer's
critique of egalitarians is scathing and effective.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on economics I've ever read, June 17, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Equality, the Third World, and Economic Delusion (Paperback)
I wish I had time to give a "real" review of this book. It is a must-read, especially if you are interested in ways to help the poor and less fortunate around the world. Excellent. Get it now.
