How our "help" has fallen far short...
First up, for my (hopefully) monthly book reviews is William Easterly’s controversial, yet imminently logical The White Man’s Burden : Why the West’s Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good.
As a former head-honcho for places like the IMF–with an insider’s view on what has gone wrong with aid for so many decades–Easterly offers a candid, often disturbing view into the machinations of states, NGOs, and global conglomerates.
I truly believe this book should be read by all in International Development, from CEOs of non-profits to administrative assistants at the IMF and UN.
