A peer of mine in the business school is looking for good development/global health books for a seminar/course for MBAs that's being offered in the winter. Given that the audience may or may not have a background in the field, are there particular overview/introductory texts that Change folks would recommend?

A few that have come up so far:
Common Wealth - Sachs
End of Poverty - Sachs
Dead Aid - Moyo
White Man's Burden - Easterly

The Blue Sweater - Novogratz

I'm not sure if students outside of the business school can enroll/attend, but if anyone's interested I can definitely check.
