is Not Working:
Damibsa Moyo
At the Jepson Leadership Forum economist Dambisa Moyo, named one of Time magazine’s most influential people in the world for 2009, discusses her book Dead Aid: Why Aid is Not Working and How There is a Better Way for Africa. In it she unflinchingly confronts what she sees as one of the greatest myths of our time and argues that foreign aid to Africa be phased out and replaced with innovative ways to finance development and encourage fair trade.
