What If Your Humanitarian Donations Are Making Things Worse?

Martha C. Nussbaum reviews The Great Escape: Health, Wealth, and the Origins of Inequality, by Angus Deaton, at The New Republic.

"... Deaton proves an engaging and sure-footed guide to the 'endless dance between progress and inequality' that is humanity’s history, particularly in recent years. Income and health have improved almost everywhere since World War II; there is not a single country where infant and child mortality is not lower than it was in 1950. And yet inequality is famously skyrocketing even within the richer countries."
