Dead Aid

Why aid is not working and how there is another way for Africa


  • Penguin UK
  • by Dambisa Moyo
We all want to help. Over the past fifty years 1 trillion of development 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. 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.
