In my new book The End of Poverty , I show how extreme poverty can be ended by 2025, but only if the rich world follows through on its promise to help the poorest countries. In order to thrive, and to foster the private-sector investment needed for long-term growth, an economy requires functioning health and education systems, investments in soil nutrients and water management, and basic infrastructure such as electricity and motorized transport.
在我的新书《贫穷的终结》中，我说明了极度贫困将如何在2005年终结，但是只有当富裕国家履行了帮助最贫穷国家的承诺， 这种情况才会出现。为了繁荣并培养长期经济增长所需的私营机构投资，一个经济体系需要正常运作的医疗和教育体系，土壤养分和水资源管理，以及诸如电力和机动化交通的基础组织。然而在最贫穷国家中，即使是那些治理较好的国家，都缺乏为此投资提供资金的来源。
