If you areat all  like<br \/>\nme and tend to believe that most third world aid projects have limited<br \/>\neffects, then this is a very uplifting book.  Prahalad, who wrote<br \/>\nCompeting for the Future, has complied several case studies of<br \/>\ninitiatives in Mexico, Peru, India and China.  These studies give us<br \/>\nideas on how multinationals and local  companies (like ICICI bank,<br \/>\nCemex, Lever Bros)  can make real change with the poorest of the poor,<br \/>\nwithout NGO and World Bank subsidies and outright grants\/loans.  This<br \/>\nbook turns traditional aid on its head, and for me, gave me some real<br \/>\nhope.  A good book and an easy read.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm-ca.amazon.ca\/e\/cm?t=wwwrocketbuil-20&amp;o=15&amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;asins=0131877291&amp;fc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;lt1=_blank&amp;lc1=0000ff&amp;bc1=000000&amp;bg1=ffffff&amp;f=ifr\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Book reviews for the business side of the technology industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid.
