Dead Aid
Dambisa Moyo, an economist born in Zambia who has worked for Goldman Sachs and the World Bank, is author of Dead Aid: why aid is not working and how there is another way for Africa.
In many ways here arguments parallel those of “Gentle Action” where she shows that the $1 trillion aid to Africa over the last 60 years has done little fo alleviate poverty, disease, corruption and civil war.
Her goal is for Africa to wean itself off aid through sustainable economic and social development.
Moyo’s book is published by Allen Lane in the UK and by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in the US.
