Lets Kill the Aid Industry - A little too simplistic?
Listers I found this article quite interesting although in my opinion a little too simplistic.. http://techcrunch.com/2013/11/23/lets-kill-the-aid-industry/ Ali Hussein +254 0770 906375 / 0713 601113 "I fear the day technology will surpass human interaction.

Its a good attempt but he has not been able to correlate crumbling economies and industries to aid. Aid is an industry in itself, a behemoth that cannot be slaughtered easily. The cartels controlling it would do anything possible to stay in control. Anybody who has read the "Confessions of an economic hitman" would appreciate how aid is ruining third world countries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confessions_of_an_Economic_Hit_Man ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva, Nairobi, Kenya. twitter.com/lordmwesh google ID | Skype ID: lordmwesh On 25 November 2013 01:51, Ali Hussein <ali@hussein.me.ke> wrote:

Dambisa Moyo <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dambisa_Moyo>, a zambian born economist has her interesting take on the same in her book "*Dead Aid: Why Aid Is Not Working and How There is Another Way for Africa"* She's given a number of talks on the same, from an economist's perspective. There are lots of her videos on Youtube; such as below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyf2Cf5GkTY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3hZAgbuWsM Tony.
His solution is rather amusing. Just dish money out and the problem will go away. Nothing about allowing industries to grow, nothing about teaching or transferring tech, just more overt slavery by dishing out money and controlling the purse strings to influence govts. Am glad opinions are free. On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 4:17 PM, Tony Likhanga <tlikhanga@gmail.com> wrote:
