Best Things First by Bjorn Lomborg is a 2023 nonfiction book about global development, public policy, and cost-benefit analysis. It argues that the world does not lack ambitious goals, but rather a disciplined way to choose among them. Building on the Copenhagen Consensus approach, Lomborg and a large group of economists evaluate policies by how much good they deliver relative to their cost, with special attention to the poorest populations. The book positions itself as a critique of broad, unfocused agendas such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, while highlighting a smaller set of interventions that it claims would produce much larger gains per dollar spent. Its purpose is not to describe poverty in general, but to identify which actions deserve priority if resources are limited. The result is a highly policy-oriented work aimed at readers interested in development economics, international aid, and practical trade-offs in solving large-scale social problems.
