Recensioner i media

Having spent most of my professional life in an international organization, I wish I had the vision to write the book that Emiliana has written. In this book, she draws from decades of firsthand engagement with policymakers in developing countries and from rigorous research on those countries. There is much to learn from it, including reasons for genuine optimism about our capacity to help the world for the better.
