We've all seen the images; infants with bloated bellies, emaciated women, these are unfortunately the images most associate with Africa. All this despite roughly a trillion dollars of aid pumped into African countries, yielding little results. So what is the answer? I've recently read a book by Zambian economist Dambisa Moyo. She Argues that aid is actually the culprit behind these images, and is perpetuating extreme poverty in many African countries. Check out the video and see what she has to say about aid. If you're interested read her book, Dead Aid.
