Customer Reviews

fascinating read!

Highly recommend this in depth look at how governments and corporations can work together to save the world. Dan Altman makes a succinct and powerful case for innovative finance as an extraordinary new tool in the fight against AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. He takes you behind the scenes providing a fascinating front row account of how policies are shaped at the highest levels of both the public and private sector. A persuasive foreward by Bill Clinton reinforces just how important this book is! Extremely informative and it's for a superb cause. Required reading.
