DESCRIPTION:Event @ the World Affairs Council, 4/6  What: “Can the West Save the 
 Rest?”  Who: William Easterly, Professor of Economics, NYU; Senior 
 Fellow, Center for Global Development; former Senior Research Economist, 
 World Bank; author, The Elusive Quest for Growth: Economists' Adventures 
 and Misadventures in the Tropics  Event: 	William Easterly's The White 
 Man's Burden: Why the West’s Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much 
 Ill and So Little Good is about the “twin tragedies” of global poverty. 
 The first is that so many are seemingly fated to live horribly stunted 
 lives and die early deaths. The second is that after fifty years and more 
 than $2.3 trillion in aid from the West, there is shockingly little to show 
 for it. Easterly argues that if we in the West can shift power and money 
 from planners to searchers, there's much we can do to improve the lot of 
 the world’s poor in the realms of public health, sanitation, education, 
 roads, and nutrition.     When: Thursday, April 6th; Check-in: 5:30,
