520 Clayton M. Christensen, the author of such business
classics as The Innovator's Dilemma and the New York Times
bestseller How Will You Measure Your Life, and co-authors
Efosa Ojomo and Karen Dillon reveal why so many
investments in economic development fail to generate
sustainable prosperity, and offers a groundbreaking
solution for true and lasting change. Global poverty is
one of the world's most vexing problems. For decades,
we've assumed smart, well-intentioned people will
eventually be able to change the economic trajectory of
poor countries. From education to healthcare,
infrastructure to eradicating corruption, too many
solutions rely on trial and error. Essentially, the plan
is often to identify areas that need help, flood them with
resources, and hope to see change over time. But hope is
not an effective strategy. Clayton M. Christensen and his
co-authors reveal a paradox at the heart of our approach
to solving poverty. While noble, our current solutions are
not producing consistent results, and in some cases, have
exacerbated the problem. At least twenty countries that
have received billions of dollars' worth of aid are poorer
now. Applying the rigorous and theory-driven analysis he
is known for, Christensen suggests a better way. The right
kind of innovation not only builds companies-but also
builds countries. The Prosperity Paradox identifies the
limits of common economic development models, which tend
to be top-down efforts, and offers a new framework for
economic growth based on entrepreneurship and market-
creating innovation. Christensen, Ojomo, and Dillon use
successful examples from America's own economic
development, including Ford, Eastman Kodak, and Singer
Sewing Machines, and shows how similar models have worked
in other regions such as Japan, South Korea, Nigeria,
Rwanda, India, Argentina, and Mexico. The ideas in this
book will help companies desperate for real, long-term
growth see actual, sustainable progress where they've
failed before. But The Prosperity Paradox is more than a
business book; it is a call to action for anyone who wants
a fresh take for making the world a better and more
prosperous place.
