Using cost-benefit analysis based on years of work from 60 of the world's top economists, Lomborg takes you through thirteen global issues including global warming, health, food, education, and natural disasters. Using our own judgement in looking at some of the best ideas for each problem, how effective do you think these solutions might be?
