Bill Gates's Five Books for Summer Reading 2019

From world-renowned economist Paul Collier, a candid diagnosis of the failures of capitalism and a pragmatic and realistic vision for how we can repair it.

Deep new rifts are tearing apart the fabric of the United States and other Western societies: thriving cities versus rural counties, the highly skilled elite versus the less educated, wealthy versus developing countries. As these divides deepen, we have lost the sense of ethical obligation to others that was crucial to the rise of post-war social democracy. So far these rifts have been answered only by the revivalist ideologies of populism and socialism, leading to the seismic upheavals of Trump, Brexit, and the return of the far-right in Germany. We have heard many critiques of capitalism but no one has laid out a realistic way to fix it, until now.

In a passionate and polemical book, celebrated economist Paul Collier outlines brilliantly original and ethical ways of healing these rifts--economic, social and cultural--with the cool head of pragmatism, rather than the fervor of ideological revivalism. He reveals how he has personally lived across these three divides, moving from working-class Sheffield to hyper-competitive Oxford, and working between Britain and Africa, and acknowledges some of the failings of his profession.

Drawing on his own solutions as well as ideas from some of the world's most distinguished social scientists, he shows us how to save capitalism from itself--and free ourselves from the intellectual baggage of the twentieth century.

High quality and great presentation
Color: 2 Pack (M+L)
I got the 2 pack in black. The measurements listed are accurate. I measured my gift before ordering and loved having 2 sizes to choose which made for the better final look. The black is a true black, not light or faded, and the texture and thickness of the material made it look so high quality - way nicer than flimsy drugstore gift bags. Love that the handles are ribbons instead of the cheap stiff paper or rope-like ones. The included tissue paper was a perfect finishing touch and made for an impressive finished look.

Very nice but not wide
Color: Large Black
The quality is nice. The height is great but the width is not great. Good for small clothing like a T-shirt or small gifts.
