Celebrities with good intentions makes so many harmful mistakes to the people they're trying to help! I just wish they could be more responsible and actually take the time to get educated.
African people will do better when the kleptomaniac leaders there are gone from power and people are allowed to keep what they work for. Foreign aid will never end poverty in Africa
Its poor countries that finance the rich countries and NOT the other way around as we like to belive.For every 1 doller we give in so called aid,100 dollers comes back to us in debt repayments of loans that we gave to dictators of these countries.Dictators that we supported and in some cases even installed.The people saw nothing of this money but now have to repay it.Its a myth that we give aid to poor countries.
i really respect jeff sachs, Hes a very very intelligible person. Thats why im hesitant to trust stossel entirely on this, but the evidence looks pretty damning
well it might be different if the actual money from aid was actually given to the people and not the governments. Why do we send money overseas when we have poverty in our own country. Our values are mistaken and probably will continue to be. :( sigh
audit lol....guess we'll let this go on for another 50-60 years and see if it works with this "audit system" he speaks of...i'd think audits would have been done from the get go
The main problem is that money does not solve the problem. This is the prime example of teaching a man to fish, instead of giving him a fish. They need to have sustainable systems in place so that the poor can have a productive economy. Also the laws and constitution need to be reshuffled and rewritten in order to encourage and build a productive economy.
thank you. Obama being half African can play a big role in helping to fix the problem with corruption and gov structure in Africa. The problem came about by design (pre/post colonial era). Someone needs to fix this. One can write a book on this. It is not by misfortune that things dont work. It is by design. Reference 1885 European convention when Africa was divided amongst EU countries.
Foreign aid help sustain lives, but it does not do anything for self-sustaining lives. This is done by businesses which foreign aid does not support or design to support.
