The ideas in this book will help companies desperate for real, long-term growth see actual, sustainable progress where they\'ve failed befo.
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 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.
The right kind of Innovation not only builds companies--but also builds countries.
Applying the rigorous and theory-driven analysis he is known for, Christensen suggests a better way.
At least twenty countries that have received billions of dollars\' worth of aid are poorer now.
While noble, our current solutions are not producing consistent results, and in some cases, have exacerbated the problem.
Christensen and his co-authors reveal a paradox at the heart of our approach to solving poverty.

But hope is not an effective strategy.
Essentially, the plan is often to identify areas that need help, flood them with resources, and hope to see change over time.
From education to healthcare, infrastructure to eradicating corruption, too many solutions rely on trial and error.
For decades, we\'ve assumed smart, well-intentioned people will eventually be able to change the economic trajectory of poor countries.
Global Poverty is one of the world\'s most vexing problems.
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.
