The Tyranny of Experts: Economists, Dictators, and the Forgotten Rights of the Poor is a 2014 book by the development economist William Easterly. It traces the history of the fight against global poverty, and critically examines the structural incentives of development. He contends that poverty reduction has been used as a tactic to take away the rights of the poor and feed power to the state and corporations. He suggests poverty reduction is better served by greater respect for individual freedom than by a reliance on technocracy.
