Leonard Wantchekon is Professor of Politics at Princeton University. Paul Collier is a director of the International Growth Centre (IGC), professor of economics and public policy at the Blavatnik School of Government at Oxford University and co-director of the Centre for the Study of African Economies also at Oxford University. This public lecture is part of Growth Week 2014 which takes place at LSE from 23-25 September organised by the International Growth Centre.
