We all want to help. Over the past fifty years $1 trillion of aid has flowed from Western governments to Africa, with rock stars and actors campaigning for more. But this has not helped Africa. It has ruined it. Dambisa Moyo's excoriating and controversial book reveals why millions are actually poorer because of aid, unable to escape corruption and reduced, in the West's eyes, to a childlike state of beggary. "Dead Aid" shows us another way. Using hard evidence to illustrate her case, Moyo shows how, with access to capital and with the right policies, even the poorest nations can turn themselves around. First we must destroy the myth that aid works - and make charity history.

有几处论证方式清奇，对发展经济学愈发没有兴趣。。。

As Duflo says, science cannot answer this hyper-ideological question: does foreign aid really work, because we don’t know what would happen without aid. fun fact: Dr. Moyo once worked for Goldman & Sachs. Guess what bankers like the most?
