The Economy of Haiti

Paper Summary:

This paper explores the small and poor economy of the nation of Haiti. Specifically the paper analyzes the work, "Eyes of the Heart: Seeking a Path for the Poor in the Age of Globalization" by Jean-Bertrand Aristide. It discusses the book as if explaining it to a friend who had not read the book, so they would be able to understand it without having to read it. Jean-Bertrand Aristide's "Eyes of the Heart" is a compelling look at a country so low on the economic scale that it barely exists.

From the Paper:

"Author Jean-Bertrand Aristide was the President of the Republic of Haiti, a Catholic Priest, and a dedicated humanitarian, which makes him an expert in the lives of his people, and those residents of other third world countries. His democratic presidency was overthrown by a military coup, and he was deposed for 1,111 days. When he returned to Haiti after the coup, he continued to serve his country until the next election. He then formed the humanitarian foundation, the Aristide Foundation for Democracy, which works to get the Haitian people involved in their own government, and supports literacy for all Haitians."
