William Easterly, a renowned development economist, has criticized the West's efforts to improve the lives of the developing world. In his book, The White Man's Burden, Easterly argues that the West needs to confront its history of ineptitude and draw proper conclusions, especially as the question of transplanting Western institutions becomes a pressing issue.
