The world is a better place than it used to be. People are healthier, wealthier, and live longer. Yet the escapes from destitution by so many has left gaping inequalities between people and nations. In The Great Escape, Angus Deaton - one of the foremost experts on economic development and on poverty - tells the remarkable story of how, beginning 250 years ago, some parts of the world experienced sustained progress, opening up gaps and setting the stage for today's disproportionately unequal world.

listening changed my understanding

I have the book but as casual reading it is out of my comfort zone. I decided to give it a try on audio format and it's been easier to understand. I can "skip" the graphs and challenging sections by just listening passively. As someone with ADHD, I feel proud for FINISHING the book! I learned that foreign aid is not always helpful, I understand as explained by a Nobel laureate instead of the summary by stranger on social media.
