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 Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62249067348355,"sku":"9780143038825","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780143038825.jpg?v=1785415243","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/the-white-man-s-burden-9780143038825","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
