Whale Done is much more than a set of techniques; it is a way of looking at people and seeing the best that is in them. Great leaders, saints and sages have developed this skill.

Description Based on his 25 years of experience, Polak explodes what he calls the "Three Great Poverty Eradication Myths": that we can donate people out of poverty, that national economic growth will end poverty, and that Big Business, operating as it does now, will end poverty.

These failed top-down efforts contrast sharply with the grassroots approach Polak and IDE have championed: helping the dollar-a-day poor earn more money through their own efforts. Amazingly enough, unexploited market opportunities do exist for the desperately poor. Polak describes how he and others have identified these opportunities and have developed innovative, low-cost tools that have helped in lifting 17 million people out of poverty. Key Features Firsthand Experience: Paul Polak and his organization IDE, has direct experience with helping over 17 million people get out of poverty forever Contrarian Appeal: Polak identifies The Three Great Poverty Eradication Myths existing bestsellers and world leaders champion and puts forth a framework for ending poverty that not only will work, but has already been proven to work.
