Jeffery Sachs' work "The End of Poverty" lays out an economic blueprint for lessening and eventually eliminating extreme poverty (poeple living on less than $1 per day).
The article in Wikipedia speaks briefly about the book. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_end_of_poverty
The book sells the points about making poverty history well and why its possible, but what it doesn't completely convince is to the best way to do it.
Sachs' suggestion is a top down method driven by foreign aid funneled through the governments of the poor countries.
The one obstacle here is corruption, and he does not do a good enough job selling the ways to get around corruption.
Great book though. Eye opening.
