Description

Dambisa Moyo's Dead Aid reveals why millions of Africans are actually poorer because of aid, trapped in a cycle of corruption and dependency. Despite $1 trillion of development aid over the past fifty years, Africa's situation has not improved. In fact, it has been made worse. Dead Aid shows us an alternative way forward, using hard evidence to illustrate its case.

Moyo argues that the traditional approach to aid has failed, and that a new approach is needed. With access to capital and the right policies, even the poorest nations can turn themselves around. This book is a call to action, challenging the status quo and offering a fresh perspective on how to help Africa.
