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.
