Summary: Over $1 trillion in development aid has been sent to Africa over the past 50 years, but it has not improved the lives of Africans. Dambisa Moyo's book, Dead Aid, reveals that over-reliance on aid has trapped developing nations in a vicious circle of dependency, corruption, and market distortion. Moyo proposes a new approach for financing development in the world's poorest countries, guaranteeing economic growth and a significant decline in poverty without reliance on foreign aid or aid-related assistance. Dead Aid is an optimistic yet unsettling work.
