The main premise of The Bottom Billion is that the focus of development attention should be on the sixty poor states whose economies are not growing, including many countries in African and central Asia, and which have not been growing for the previous few decades (Leonard and Haddad, 2008). The thesis statement is to discuss what lessons about the modern world should Americans take from the book. The paper will look at the role that the United States plays - culturally, politically, socially, economically or militarily – in the subject matter or storyline of the book. The paper will analyse the book’s basic premises and will explain how the book relates to the role of the US Government, its citizens, policies and culture in the world and will discuss whether the book has any importance for the United States as a whole. This paper will explain the book The Bottom Billion: why the poorest countries are failing and what can be done about it written by Paul Collier.
