    The Great Escape
    Deaton, Angus
    The world is a better place than it used to be. People are healthier, wealthier, and live longer. Yet the escape from destitution by so many has left gaping in-equalities between people and nations. In this book, Angus Deaton - one of the foremost experts on economic development and poverty - tells the remarkable story of how, beginning 250 years ago, some parts of the world experienced sustained progress, opening up gaps ans setting the stage for today - s disproportionately unequal world. Deaton takes an in-depth look at the historical and ongoing patterns behind the health and wealth of nations, and addresses what need to be done to help those left behind.
