William Easterly has 3 past events. (show)  The World Affairs Council presents WILLIAM EASTERLY  William Easterly - The Tyranny of Experts: Economists, Dictators, and the Forgotten Rights of the Poor In his new study of global poverty, Easterly, director of NYU’s Development Research Institute and author of The white man’s burden, addresses the mismatch between merely technical solutions and systemic problems. He shows how quick and immediate remedies not only leave poverty intact but often bolster autocratic governments; his alternative would be an approach grounded in freedom and respect for the individual.
