Interesting readings for the summer

I want to share with you a couple of books I have recently read and which I found extremely interesting. Some of them are not that easy to read, but I can assure you you'll learn. Not only that, but they'll make you think, something really important in the world that we live in nowadays. So enjoy!

1. The Shackled Continent: Africa's past, present and future by Robert Guest

2. The End of Poverty: How we can make it happen in our lifetime by Jeffrey Sachs

3. The Bottom Billion: Why the poorest countries are failing and what can be done about it by Paul Collier

4. Common Wealth: Economics for a crowded planet by Jeffery Sachs

5. The White Man's Burden: Why the west's efforts to aid the rest have done so much ill and so little good by William Easterly

I invite you to see and enjoy an amazing documentary. It's not only the facts it tell us, which are really interesting, but the breathtaking images shown. It's just spectacular, and should get people to think a little bit about where we are going like this. We need to change this, and for that we need everyone!!
