Praise for Move Up

This is the question for the ages: why are some nations and people rich and successful, while others are poor and a failing? Many have tried to address small pieces of this great puzzle, but Rapaille and Roemer are the first to attempt a comprehensive answer to this eternal question

Michio Kaku

An ambitious and provocative book that tackles head-on the really Big Questions

Carl Honoré

An entertaining and important counterweight to the ideology and cynicism that surrounds discussions of world problems today

Steven Pinker

Not since The Naked Ape have I seen a book that so gleefully revels in tweaking the nose of conventional sensitivities

Richard Dawkins

Move UP is a splendid book, totally engaging

David M. Buss
