520 8  "The world is a better place than it used to be. People 
       are wealthier and healthier, and live longer lives. Yet 
       the escapes from destitution by so many have left gaping 
       inequalities between people and between nations. In The 
       Great Escape, Angus Deaton--one of the foremost experts on
       economic development and on poverty--tells the remarkable 
       story of how, starting two hundred and fifty years ago, 
       some parts of the world began to experience sustained 
       progress, opening up gaps and setting the stage for 
       today's hugely unequal world. Deaton takes an in-depth 
       look at the historical and ongoing patterns behind the 
       health and wealth of nations, and he addresses what needs 
       to be done to help those left behind.    Deaton describes 
       vast innovations and wrenching setbacks: the successes of 
       antibiotics, pest control, vaccinations, and clean water 
       on the one hand, and disastrous famines and the HIV/AIDS 
       epidemic on the other. He examines the United States, a 
       nation that has prospered but is today experiencing slower
       growth and increasing inequality. He also considers how 
       economic growth in India and China has improved the lives 
       of more than a billion people. Deaton argues that 
       international aid has been ineffective and even harmful. 
       He suggests alternative efforts--including reforming 
       incentives to drug companies and lifting trade 
       restrictions--that will allow the developing world to 
       bring about its own Great Escape.    Demonstrating how 
       changes in health and living standards have transformed 
       our lives, The Great Escape is a powerful guide to 
       addressing the well-being of all nations"--Publisher
