«The Great Escape» is Angus Deaton's economics essay, published by Princeton University Press in hardback (376 pages, in English).
About 250 years ago, some regions began to escape poverty and disease, and from this emerged today's great gaps in health and wealth. Angus Deaton reviews advances such as vaccines, antibiotics and clean water, as well as famines and epidemics; he examines the United States, India and China, and questions the effectiveness of international aid.
Aimed at readers interested in development economics, economic history and the debate on global inequality.
