Re [i]The End of Poverty[/i]:

Can't say I recommend it. I picked it up about a year back. I made it about a third of the way through, and he was still discussing 1st year microeconomics and political theory. I really meant to finish it, and I might at some point, but there is a lot of unnecessary filler. The book's written to be popular and easily accessible.

You, sir, have better things to do with your time.

Edit: I fail at the magic of javascripting...
