Money Talks: How to Save a Doomed Economy

How do you save a region from an economic tailspin? For this Money Talks, Felix Salmon (axios.com/authors/fsalmon)chats with Paul Collier, author of The Bottom Billion and, most recently, Left Behind: A New Economics for Neglected Places (hachettebookgroup.com/titles/paul-collier/left…). They discuss the economic and political forces that drag countries and regions to the bottom — and how they might be saved. Paul gives examples across time and geography, from Cold War-era Germany to modern-day Africa.
