At the Jepson Leadership Forum economist Dambisa Moyo, named one of Time magazine's most influential people in the world for 2009, discusses her book Dead Aid: Why Aid is Not Working and How There is a Better Way for Africa. In it she unflinchingly confronts what she sees as one of the greatest myths of our time and argues that foreign aid to Africa be phased out and replaced with innovative ways to finance development and encourage fair trade.

  • @bongo46 Well it depends by the looks the investment of the Chinese with Africa has been since African independence. If you look up David Shinn and Deborah Britigham they are analyst of this very relationship.

  • @blueiguy1 yeah, I'm sure the Africans are swamping the Chinese with African products and basically ripping them off blind... but the flip side is the Chinese appears to have more smarts than the Africans or is that they can decieve better?

  • @bongo46 Yeah but there is also development not the same way as the west also the African immigrant population is growing in China .

  • Brilliant and eloquent.the subject - long overdo. thank you for speaking truth to this and addressing accountability.

  • from one sister to another who often feels alone voicing similiar views.....THANK YOU FOR YOUR COURAGE AND TANACITY AND YOUR LOVE.

  • @BlackFoodTV It is quite simple. That isn't the reason Africa is the way it is. It has had decades to recover, germany did after the greatest battle in history.

  • Pity Britain and politicians aren't listening... keep sending that aid....
