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 Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948260266272,"sku":"9780143038825","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780143038825.jpg?v=1763601594","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/the-white-mans-burden","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
