Join us for an interesting talk by Steven Radelet on his stimulating new book The Great Surge:The Ascent of the Developing World. Radelet is the Donald F. McHenry Chair in Global Human Development at Georgetown University and Non-Resident Senior Fellow at Brookings Institution. His new book discusses progress in reducing poverty, improving health, increasing incomes, expanding health, reducing conflict, and encouraging democracy within the past two decades. The Great Surge tells the story of this unprecedented progress and discusses why it happened, and what it may portend for the future.
