«Dead Aid» is the economics and development essay by Dambisa Moyo, published by Penguin in paperback (208 pages, in English).
In this essay, economist Dambisa Moyo argues that the Western aid received by Africa for decades has not served to develop it, but has instead fostered corruption, dependency and poverty. Against charity, Moyo proposes access to capital markets, private investment and sound economic policies as ways for Africa to grow on its own.
Originally published in 2009; this Penguin edition is from January 2010. It was nominated for the Best Book of Ideas Prize 2010.
For readers interested in development economics, international cooperation and the critical debate on humanitarian aid in Africa.
