en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 iun 2012
The Poverty of Nations is a study about the status and trends in human well-being as it varies from nation to nation worldwide. A basic premise is that human well-being comes from a nation's physical, social, economic, and political macro systems. A metric of descriptive statistics is built for each system, and then it is aggregated into one metric to gauge the level of human well-being in each nation. The metric describes human well-being in 1960 and 2010 to seek an understanding of the status and trend of human well-being in 151 of the world's nations. Which nations are meeting the United Nation's Millennium Development goals, and which are not?
