Sometimes angry, sometimes irreverent, but always clear-eyed and rigorous, Easterly argues that we in the West need to face our own history of ineptitude and draw the proper conclusions, especially at a time when the question of our ability to transplant Western institutions has become one of the most pressing issues we face.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380279476479,"sku":"9780143038825","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780143038825_s600x595.jpg?v=1775599619","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780143038825","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
