Dead Aid

I first read about Dambisa Moyo's ideas about the dangers of foreign aid in the NYT Magazine (see The Anti-Bono). I was particularly struck by her answer to the question:

A)Microfinance. Give people jobs.


Here's another post about her book:

I just ordered it from Amazon (as if I need another book to read :-)
