Description

A national bestseller, Dead Aid unflinchingly confronts one of the most greatest myths of our time: that billions of dollars in aid sent from rich countries to developing African nations has helped to scale back poverty and increase growth. If truth be told, poverty levels continue to escalate and growth rates have continuously declined―and millions continue to suffer. Debunking the current model of international aid promoted by both Hollywood celebrities and policy makers, Dambisa Moyo offers a bold new road map for financing development of the world’s poorest countries.

Much debated in the US and the UK on publication, Dead Aid is an unsettling yet optimistic work, a powerful challenge to the assumptions and arguments that beef up a profoundly misguided development policy in Africa. And this can be a clarion call to a new, more hopeful vision of how one can address the desperate poverty that plagues millions.
