Book: Dead Aid by Dambisa Moyo
More than $1 trillion has been transfered to Africa in the last 50 years. Dead Aid, by Dambisa Moyo shows that across the continent, the recipients of this aid are not better off from it, but worse ! This book is both disturbing and enlightening. It should probably be a 'compulsory read' for everyone in the realm of international aid. It can be bought on Amazon
