There is no doubt: we want to help.
The well-documented horrors of extreme poverty around the world have created a moral imperative that people have responded to in their millions.
Yet the poverty persists. At a time of unprecedented global prosperity, children are starving to death. Are we not being generous enough? Or is the problem somehow insoluble, an inevitable outcome of historical circumstance?
In this provocative and compelling book, Dambisa Moyo argues that the most important challenge we face today is to destroy the myth that Aid actually works. In the modern globalized economy, simply handing out more money, however well intentioned, will not help the poorest nations achieve sustainable long-term growth.
Dead Aid analyses the history of economic development over the last fifty years and shows how Aid crowds out financial and social capital and directly causes corruption; the countries that have ‘caught up’ did so despite rather than because of Aid. There is, however, an alternative. Extreme poverty is not inevitable. Dambisa Moyo also shows how, with improved access to capital and markets and with the right policies, even the poorest nations could be allowed to prosper.
If we really do want to help, we have to do more than just appease our consciences, hoping for the best, expecting the worst. We need first to understand the problem.

評分這就是為什麼對於國關來講, professional experience對於Master 很重要的原因。沒有真正做過國際事務的經驗就很難形成自己的價值體係和觀點。看這個作者覺得寫的很對,看那個argument覺得很有道理,就總是形不成自己的觀點。隻有真正在一個領域有瞭工作經驗,深入到project的運行當中纔會形成自己的看法。 每個人的看法都可能是biased, base on his/her own working experience. 但這總比隻從彆人口中二手得來的貨要有價值的多。
