From the Author:
50 Facts that Should Change the World is an unashamedly populist - but nonetheless serious and intelligent - book about some of the most shocking inequalities, appalling conditions, absurd contradictions and much more that abound even still in the world of the 21st century.
Jessica Williams - a brilliant journalist known for her work on the BBC's Hardtalk programme in particular - has assembled and analysed a huge breadth of material - statistical and otherwise - about an incredible range of issues, from famine in Africa to drug abuse in the West or even the percentage of Americans - one third - who believe aliens have landed on earth. It is a book that anyone interested in the state of our world should read.
