Dambisa Moyos Dead Aid" reveals why millions are actually poorer because of aid unable to escape corruption & reduced in the Wests eyes to a childlike state of beggary. 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 & 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 & with the right policies even the poorest nations can turn themselves around. First we must destroy the myth that aid works

(" Financial Times"). " Kicks over the traditional piety that Western aid benefits the third world". (" Sunday Herald Books of the Year"). " Dambisa Moyo makes a compelling case for a new approach". (Kofi Annan). " This reader was left wanting a lot more Moyo a lot less Bono". (Niall Ferguson). Dambisa Moyo worked at Goldman Sachs for eight years having previously worked for the World Bank as a consultant. Moyo completed a Ph D in Economics at Oxford University & holds a Masters from Harvard University Kennedy School of Government. Her other books include " Winner Take All" & " How the West was Lost".
