Foreign aid is now a $100bn business and is expanding than it has for a generation. But does it work? This book sets out the evidence and exposes the instances where aid has failed and explains why. It examines the way that politics distorts aid, and disentangles the moral and ethical assumptions that lie behind the belief that aid does good. With 6 figures, 4 tables, 21 boxes. Hardback, 536 pages. Size: 234 x 156 mm. Weight: 947g.
