The Prosperity Paradox – Clayton M. Christensen | How Innovation Can Lift Nations Out of Poverty

The Prosperity Paradox: How Innovation Can Lift Nations Out of Poverty (Ukrainian edition) presents a compelling framework for rethinking economic development. In this 416‑page hardcover edition from Vydavnytstvo Staroho Leva, Clayton M. Christensen along with Karen Dillon and Efosa Ojomo examine why many nations struggle to escape poverty despite considerable aid, resources, and capital inflow. They argue that it’s not enough to supply funding — nations need market-creating innovations that empower local entrepreneurs, create new value, and redefine industries.

Using case studies from diverse geographies, the authors illustrate how breakthrough innovations in healthcare, agriculture, finance, and energy have successfully flipped the script: transforming industries, creating employment, and establishing scalable solutions where traditional approaches failed. The Ukrainian translation preserves the clarity, depth, and urgency of the original, making complex economic theory accessible for policymakers, business leaders, educators, and engaged readers.

With its hardback format, impressive binding, and a generously designed layout (265×145 mm), this edition is ideal for those interested in global development, economic strategy, and the role of innovation in shaping societies. Whether you are exploring solutions for national growth or seeking to inspire change in your own community, The Prosperity Paradox offers insight, hope, and actionable frameworks — showing that sustainable prosperity is not just possible, but practical when guided by innovation.
