Peter Burgess COMMENTARY

Peter Burgess
In 1988 he was awarded the Edgar Graham Book Prize for the co-written Labour and poverty in rural Tanzania: Ujamaa and rural development in the United Republic of Tanzania.[10] The Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and What Can Be Done About It (ISBN 0-19-531145-0), has been compared[9] to Jeffrey Sachs's The End of Poverty and William Easterly's The White Man's Burden, two influential books, which like Collier's book, discuss the pros and cons of development aid to developing countries. His 2010 book The Plundered Planet[11][12][13][14][15] describes itself as an attempt at a middle way between the extremism of 'Ostriches' (denialism, particularly climate change denial) and 'Environmental Romanticism' (for example, anti-genetically modified organisms movements in Europe). The book is about sustainable management in relation with the geo-politics of global warming, with an attempt to avoid a global tragedy of the commons, with the prime example of overfishing. In it he builds upon a legacy of the economic psychology of greed and fear, from early Utilitarianism (Jeremy Bentham) to more recently the Stern Review. His thesis is encapsulated in his formulas:
  • Nature – Technology + Regulation = Starvation
  • Nature + Technology – Regulation = Plunder
  • Nature + Technology + Regulation (Good governance) = Prosperity
