Aid has not, does not, and will never, help Africa

I am yet to read Moyo's book, but I have watched her being interviewed and I agree with the gist of her argument. Free market policies however need to be reformed to work for Africa as it is not doing that currently. Lastly, I enjoyed "Missionaries, Mercenaries and Misfits" which I bought on Amazon. It is a shame that only 500 copies have been sold so far because it is an excellent anthology.

Dambisa Moyo cannot be dismissed as a crank. Educated at Harvard and Oxford, she heads the Africa strategy of a major bank. Nor can she be dismissed as a renegade who has rejected her roots. She is deeply wounded by the lack of development in Zambia, her home country. African societies face problems deeper than their dependence on aid. Divided by ethnic loyalties, they are too large to be nations. Yet with only tiny economies, they lack the scale to be effective states.

I value your insight here every Monday. I would like to purchase your book. Where can I look for it?

Many books have been written about the Aid/funds and they all conclude the same:They have no or minimal if any effects on the livelihood of developing countries! Read Tim Unwin's 'White man's Burden!

Economic dependancy syndrome , which is largely associated with Aid to Africa remains a bone of contention for many decades today. Nobody is underdeveloping Africa. Africans have willingly chosen their destiny, by way of managing their resources and incomes, including aid monies. Every Economy borrows, including the US (The largest Economy in the globe). No Economy is self-sufficient. Stop aid, increase tax, print more shillings and then heighten poverty levels.Or which alternatives do we have? Nyambati Aori, USA.
