Bob Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 I just recently discovered this intellectual. She argues, correctly in my view, that foreign aid has many detrimental effects to recipient countries (or territories, in the case of the Palestinians) that are almost wholly dependent on financial aid. Quote My blog - bobinisrael.blogspot.com - I am writing on it, again!
Jack Weber Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Hot,smart black chicks... By the way,Moyo is usually talking about two things... 1.Aid to really awful dictatorial regimes in SubSaharan Africa being wasted through intractable corruption to strengthen the regime and not going to where it's supposed to go... 2.I've also heared her speak about how there is a global threat to democracy because of the way China treats these regimes in Africa.The Chinese,unlike "The West" never demands democratic reform and never meddles in internal issues...This has two undesirebale effects... 1.These regimes get Chinese aid with no strings attached.That aid is usually in engineering and infrastructure.. 2.These regimes see the Chinese model and see how Totalitarian/Authoritarian regimes become economically successful without embracing any democratic reforms...
