Podcasts about dead aid

Should the U.S. stop giving foreign aid? This is a question many have been asking long before Elon Musk and Donald Trump launched DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) and began dismantling USAID and its work around the globe. Critics of foreign aid, like Bill Easterly, author of The White Man's Burden, and Dambisa Moyo, author of Dead Aid, argue that foreign aid often does more harm than good. They contend that the U.S. and other nations should radically rethink their approach. But this winter, Donald Trump did something no one expected: he halted nearly all foreign aid and operations worldwide.  Today, we're joined by long-time international correspondent and host of NPR's Rough Translation, Gregory Warner, for a deep dive into why USAID was founded in the first place, how it expanded into the massive program it is today, the consequences of freezing its operations, and an examination of the claims that USAID is part of a U.S. deep-state operation. For the listener who'd like to hear more from Warner, he publishes a Substack newsletter called Rough Transition. And if you reach out to him mentioning you're coming from Reflector, he's happy to offer a complimentary six-month subscription. Thank you to our sponsor Ground News.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: About my job: "Plans Officer", published by Weaver on September 10, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I've been a plans Officer for the United States Army Reserve since 2021. People have no clue what reservists do and much less what "Active Guard Reserve" Soldiers do, and I see it's Career Week, so here's my job. Also I'm shamelessly stealing Lizkas format, so thank her for me writing this. Note that anything written here is my opinion and does not represent the department of defense, or any US Government agency. My background & how I got here I studied Computer Science in college and graduate into the great recession of 2008. After not getting the exact job I wanted (Marine Officer), I went to the Army recruiter and they gave me the option to be an Army Reserve Quartermaster Officer. I wanted something more active, but since Officer Candidate School was very competitive I wasn't in the top. I served part time as a Platoon Leader, Company Commander and Company Executive Officer. I interviewed with a different unit to change my branch to Civil Affairs, transferred to the unit and then served there as a Battalion Logistics Officer (S4) until I got called to go to first deploy, then school. My small school team of four Captains placed in the top six(Commandants List) of our approximately 60 person class and I was a Civil Affairs(CA) Officer after about 8 years. I credit my time working alongside CA officers as a large part of how well I did. At the same time I worked as a state department contractor full time. I also was going through Nursing school for most of it, though I didn't make it through. During my deployment, I was always trying to quantify how much we were doing and I had problems doing so. I read books like Dead Aid and Toxic Charity, trying to get a sense of how to 'do international development' and 'foreign aid'. You might think that this is why I joined EA. Nope. My writing partner made me read Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality and then, yes you can guess the rest. I got picked up for a 3 year tour of AGR and decided to put my civilian career on hold and see if I liked it. What I actually work on There is a very specific scope of things that only I do, mostly long range planning, facilitation, writing policy and working on strategy/prioritization for my organization. This includes everything that is mandated for the unit I work for to do to what is directed at a local level for us to do. Most of my work is office work, over various lovely software, and some of it is field work. Here is what I do normally: Field questions from people inside the unit Answer Requests for Information (RFIs) from higher echelons or sister units Write Operations Orders and iron out short term plans Be the telephone between two organizations that need to talk. I also run several meetings that are ad hoc or weekly dependent. I've had to work with a lot of people and I have met so many good people. It's not EA, but they all want to make a difference. Reflecting on the Role I opted into a very specialized career field in an already specialized group. I love the people and the unit culture is great, but they ask a lot of the part timers. Some things I value: I'm expected to work independently. If the work is done, then it's done. I'm not waiting around for someone's input normally. I get to work with top performers regularly. I get to mentor a lot of junior Officers and Enlisted, which is a big draw. Some things that can be hard: I'm not in charge, I just work here. Even though I plan a lot in advance, sometimes the commanders will choose to take a different path, upending a lot of my work. There's a lot of things that need to be on a regulatory timeline that I can not change. This is fine, except when people try to get around it. Some Skills I develop in this job: Lan...

FB粉專 影片 https://bit.ly/3XDJEhR YouTube 影片 https://bit.ly/3iRwPBS 本集主題：文案力就是你的鈔能力：寫作教練Vista教你打造熱銷商品、快速圈粉的文案密碼 訪問作者：鄭緯筌（Vista Cheng） 內容簡介： 自序〉現在是學習寫作最好的時機 時光匆匆，距離我的上一本書《內容感動行銷》付梓出版，轉眼間快要過了三年。以人生數十寒暑來說，區區三年或許算不上什麼，然而這三年的光景，不只是對我有不同的意涵，相信對大家來說，也是一段難忘的時光吧？ 雖然此時疫情方興未艾，但我毋寧相信快要可以看見遠方的曙光了。能夠在這個時間點出版新書，我的內心充滿感恩。我要感謝出版社的編輯團隊，也要感謝我的家人、粉絲、讀者朋友以及寫作課的同學們。 過往，我曾當過網路公司的產品經理、製作人，也在媒體擔任主編、總監。近年來，我以企業顧問、職業講師與專欄作家的身分走跳江湖。這些性質迥異的工作經驗，有助於我深入了解不同產業的面向，所以也時常有許多朋友找我諮詢文案寫作或內容行銷的相關議題。 眾所周知，當今最有效的行銷方法就是要能夠幫客戶解決問題或是帶來具體的利益。所以，我希望藉由這本新書，可以幫助大家重新認識寫作，順利踏上征程。 撰寫本書的起心動念，其實很簡單。近年來，我在許多公部門、企業與大學院校講授有關文案寫作、內容行銷的課程，也因為這個機緣，讓我得以理解許多人對於寫作的困惑與需求。 對我來說，寫作是與生俱來的興趣，甚至是目前賴以為生的技能之一。但我也清楚，並不是每個人都喜歡寫作、或者可以透過文字精準表達自己的觀點。 所以，這些年來我不但在許多政府機關、企業和學校講課，也從2019年元月推出「Vista寫作陪伴計畫」，希望可以陪伴更多的夥伴們精進寫作。 曾有某位「Vista寫作陪伴計畫」的夥伴告訴我，這兩年她已經買了超過十本以上的寫作書籍。的確，坊間著實不缺相關書籍，那麼為何我還要寫這本書呢？ 道理很簡單，因為我發現：坊間的寫作書籍汗牛充棟，其中也不乏佳作，但某些書籍光是大談理論和套路，卻因為不夠理解讀者朋友們所遇到的寫作瓶頸，所以能幫上的忙似乎有限。如此一來，許多人一聽到寫作還是感到頭皮發麻、躊躇不前。 所以，這回著手寫書，我就希望能夠突破這個瓶頸。以本書來說，本書的重點集結了我在各地授課的精華；而書中所提到的某些案例與場景，很多都是取材自我和學生們的真實互動。換言之，我相信本書應可相當程度地反映出職場人士的寫作需求與現況。 身為一位寫作教練，我衷心期待：當你看完這本書之後，可以鼓起勇氣開始寫，從此不再畏懼文案寫作。同時，也歡迎你加入我所開設的內容力學院，如此一來，所有的寫作問題自然能夠迎刃而解。 和我同年的牛津大學經濟學博士丹比薩．莫約（Dambisa Moyo），是曾被《時代》雜誌評為「全球100位最具影響力人物」之一，她在《Dead Aid》一書中曾提到：「以現在的角度看，種下理想的決心應該在十年前；但以未來的角度看，現在也是。」 為何我說現在是學習寫作最好的時機呢？一來，我始終覺得只要有心學習新事物，永遠不遲！就好比最近看到一則新聞，日本有位高齡91歲的森浜子女士，就被金氏世界紀錄認證為「世界最年長的遊戲YouTuber」。話說回來，如果連91歲的奶奶都能夠鼓起勇氣當一位YouTuber，那麼你還有理由拒絕學習寫作嗎？ 二來，溝通表達的能力在後疫情時代更顯得重要；在許多工作事務、活動都轉到線上進行的時候，你更需要卓越的文字能力來表達自己的觀點。如果你來不及在十年前就開始寫作，那麼現在學習寫作，我覺得也正是時候！ 是的，我想邀請你加入寫作的行列，希望你可以從閱讀本書的過程中，理解寫作的訣竅與樂趣。 最後，我也準備了幫助讀者朋友更加方便精進文案力的相關資源，其中還包含賴麗淳小姐所精心繪製的全彩圖卡。歡迎購買本書的讀者朋友們參考，希望你會喜歡。 作者簡介：鄭緯筌（Vista Cheng） 來自風城新竹，現居臺北市，畢業於國立臺灣大學工業工程學研究所，悠遊於網路、媒體與科技產業。 現任企業顧問、職業講師與專欄作家，同時身兼臺灣最大筆記社群「我愛寫筆記」社團以及「內容進行式」、「Vista Cheng」等網站的創辦人。曾任《風傳媒》產品總監、「APP01」網站總監與《數位時代》雜誌主編，關注文化創意、內容行銷、社群媒體、電子商務與個人品牌之發展。 著有《內容感動行銷：用FAB法則套公式，「無痛」寫出超亮點！》、《慢讀秒懂：Vista的數位好文案分析時間》、《他是玩真的！：「鋼鐵人」伊隆．馬斯克改變未來的10種能力》與《擁抱世界的Facebook》等十餘本書籍，文章散見個人網站以及《經濟日報》、《獨立評論@天下》、《英語島》雜誌與「行銷人」等媒體。 2019年元月起，推出「Vista寫作陪伴計畫」的全方位寫作諮詢服務。成立至今，已陪伴來自世界各地的數百位學員踏上寫作的康莊大道！ 作者粉絲頁： Vista寫作陪伴計畫 出版社粉絲頁： 讓我們布克在一起 #李基銘#李基銘主持人#fb新鮮事#生活有意思#快樂玩童軍 #廣播之神#廣播之神李基銘#漢聲廣播電台 YouTube頻道，可以收看 https://goo.gl/IQXvzd podcast平台，可以收聽 SoundOn　https://bit.ly/3oXSlmF Spotify　https://spoti.fi/2TXxH7V Apple　https://apple.co/2I7NYVc Google　https://bit.ly/2GykvmH KKBOX　https://bit.ly/2JlI3wC Firstory　https://bit.ly/3lCHDPi 請支持七個粉絲頁 李基銘主持人粉絲頁：https://www.facebook.com/voh.lee 李基銘的影音頻道粉絲頁：https://www.facebook.com/voh.video 廣播之神李基銘：https://www.facebook.com/voh.god Fb新鮮事新聞報粉絲頁：https://www.facebook.com/voh.fbnews LIVE直播-fb新鮮事：https://www.facebook.com/live.fbshow 漢聲廣播電台「fb新鮮事」節目粉絲頁：https://www.facebook.com/voh.vhbn 漢聲廣播電台「快樂玩童軍」節目粉絲頁：https://www.facebook.com/voh.scout 只顯示部分資訊

Baroness Dambisa Moyo is a seriously impressive woman. She's worked at the World Bank and Goldman Sachs analysing global economic trends, and sat on the boards of numerous FTSE100 companies including Barclays and Chevron. She's also the author of five books including best-sellers Dead Aid – a critique of development policy in Africa – and How the West was Lost, about a series of mistakes and failures of postwar economic policy that have seen the balance of power tip towards China.On top of all that she's a sought-after speaker and writer, and advises the Government on racial and ethnic disparities.I caught up with her backstage at the Centre for Policy Studies' Margaret Thatcher Conference to discuss the macro-economic challenges facing the world, what Britain can do about them, and why international finance is no longer a man's world.

The African-born economist has written four bestselling books, including Dead Aid, which Bill Gates described as “promoting evil.” In her new book about corporate boards, Dambisa uses her experience with global corporations to explore how they can better meet society’s demands. And she explains to Steve why, even as a Harvard and Oxford-educated economist, her goal in life might sound “a little bit like a Miss America pageant.”

Dead Aid: Why Aid Is Not Working and How There Is a Better Way for Africa  – March 2, 2010 by Dambisa Moyo. An ACU Archive Show. This is an encore presentation of a past ACU Show.  A national bestseller, Dead Aid unflinchingly confronts one of the greatest myths of our time: that billions of dollars in aid sent from wealthy countries to developing African nations has helped to reduce poverty and increase growth. In fact, poverty levels continue to escalate and growth rates have steadily declined―and millions continue to suffer. Debunking the current model of international aid promoted by both Hollywood celebrities and policy makers, Dambisa Moyo offers a bold new road map for financing development of the world's poorest countries. Much debated in the United States and the United Kingdom on publication, Dead Aid is an unsettling yet optimistic work, a powerful challenge to the assumptions and arguments that support a profoundly misguided development policy in Africa. And it is a clarion call to a new, more hopeful vision of how to address the desperate poverty that plagues millions. --------------------------------------------------------------------  Visit Pragertopia  https://pragertopia.com/member/signup.php  The first month is 99 cents.

It's a must-read that every person, religious and non-religious, should buy and peruse every night before bed. It'll make you think harder, pray more ardently, and understand your civilization better." — Ben Shapiro, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show" "Dennis Prager's commentary on Exodus will rank among the greatest modern Torah commentaries. That is how important I think it is. And I am clearly not alone... It might well be on its way to becoming the most widely read Torah commentary of our time—and by non-Jews as well as by Jews." — Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, bestselling author of Jewish Literacy Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated? Why do our friends and neighbors – and sometimes we ourselves – dismiss the Bible as irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? This explanation of the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, will demonstrate that the Bible is not only powerfully relevant to today's issues, but completely consistent with rational thought. Do you think the Bible permitted the trans-Atlantic slave trade? You won't after reading this book. Do you struggle to love your parents? If you do, you need this book. Do you doubt the existence of God because belief in God is “irrational?” This book will give you reason after reason to rethink your doubts. The title of this commentary is, “The Rational Bible” because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. As Prager says, “If something I write does not make rational sense, I have not done my job.” The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager's forty years of teaching the Bible to people of every faith, and no faith. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world and to your life. His goal: to change your mind – and then change your life.   Highly Recommended by ACU.

This explanation of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, demonstrates clearly and powerfully that the opposite is true. The Bible remains profoundly relevant—both to the great issues of our day and to each individual life. It is the greatest moral guide and source of wisdom ever written. Do you doubt the existence of God because you think believing in God is irrational? This book will give you many reasons to rethink your doubts. Do you think faith and science are in conflict? You won't after reading this commentary on Genesis. Do you come from a dysfunctional family? It may comfort you to know that every family discussed in Genesis was highly dysfunctional! The title of this commentary is “The Rational Bible” because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. In Dennis Prager's words, “If something I write is not rational, I have not done my job.” The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager's forty years of teaching the Bible—whose Hebrew grammar and vocabulary he has mastered—to people of every faith and no faith at all.

This explanation of the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, will demonstrate that the Bible is not only powerfully relevant to today’s issues, but completely consistent with rational thought.Do you think the Bible permitted the trans-Atlantic slave trade? You won’t after reading this book.Do you struggle to love your parents? If you do, you need this book.Do you doubt the existence of God because belief in God is “irrational?” This book will give you reason after reason to rethink your doubts.The title of this commentary is, “The Rational Bible” because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. As Prager says, “If something I write does not make rational sense, I have not done my job.”The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager’s forty years of teaching the Bible to people of every faith, and no faith. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world and to your life.His goal: to change your mind – and then change your life. Highly Recommended by ACU.Purchase his book at-https://www.amazon.com/Rational-Bible-Exodus-Dennis-Prager/dp/1621577724  The Rational Bible: Genesis by Dennis Prager USA Today bestsellerPublishers Weekly bestsellerWall Street Journal bestsellerMany people today think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is not only outdated but irrelevant, irrational, and even immoral.This explanation of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, demonstrates clearly and powerfully that the opposite is true.

It is the greatest moral guide and source of wisdom ever written.Do you doubt the existence of God because you think believing in God is irrational?

“There is, of course, the largely unspoken and insidious view that the problem with Africa is Africans – that culturally, mentally and physically, Africans are innately different. That, somehow, deeply embedded in their psyche is an inability to embrace development and improve their own lot in life without foreign guidance and help” – Dambisa Moyo, Dead Aid. This episode explores some deeply rooted reasons why Black people are collectively looked down on the most and how this is perpetuated by everyone including Black people. Please join me as I explain some of these issues and offer some possible solutions.

Today's guest is Getrude Matshe, who describes herself as a serial social entrepreneur.Getrude and I met just recently when she sought out my services as a speaking coach to help put the finishing touches on her new TEDx talk. I was immediately struck by how powerful and influential she is, and felt the need to share her story with you.The entire conversation hinges on the concept of Ubuntu, an African philosophy Getrude picked up as a native of Zimbabwe, which she now spreads across the world as an activist, writer, and speaker.Within that philosophy we discuss activism, illness, the illusion of time, Getrude's unique process for writing a book in just 40 hours, luck, chance, relationships, and so much more.Watch this episode in video format here!RELATED LINKSHerStoryCircle.comConnect with Getrude via Facebook and InstagramGetrude's new TEDx talkBorn on the Continent Ubuntu (book)Dead Aid by Dambiso Moyo (book)

What You'll Hear: Art Lindsley in 4th grade at a summer camp committed his life and felt forgiveness and closeness to the Lord He got a BS in Chemistry, a Master of Divinity and PhD in Religious Studies. He worked at the Ligonier Valley Studies Center with R.C. Sproul for 6 years as Director for Educational Initiatives and for 25 years at the C.S. Lewis Institute partly as President and has been at The Institute for Faith, Work and Economics for 6 years In his book "For the Least of These - A Biblical Answer to Poverty", he talks about the poverty industry and quotes from the book "Toxic Charity", Bob Lupton saying "You give once you elicit appreciation, you give twice you create anticipation, you give 3 times you create expectation, you give 4 times it becomes entitlement, you give 5 times you establish dependency" The book "Dead Aid" essentially states that the U.S. ought to stop giving Africa aid as a long term solution. 85% of the aid has gone to a place other than which it was intended. A great film "Poverty Inc." talks about the need for a new paradigm dealing with poverty. There is often a missing small/medium business in these countries.  In one case, some in Hollywood sent 100,000 miscuito nets which drove the local African business out of business In Deuteronomy when it said "you'll always have the poor" it meant we'll never have an excuse for not helping the poor The best way to help the poor is to help affirm their dignity as image bearers of God and give them an opportunity to apply their gifts Peter Greer from Hope International asked some poor people how they defined poverty, the answers almost 100% did not deal with money In 1800, 85% were living in desperate poverty, in 1950 50%, in 1992 25%, in 2007 15%, now 10%, almost solely through enterprise Any attempt by government has to take into account that the ultimate goal is to empower people Government, non-profits, and business all have a role In almost every case he would prefer the church rather than government help the poor About 30% of what you give to the government goes to help the poor, about 30% with a non-profit goes to help the poor In the past, the church did take the responsibility of helping the poor In his book "Counting the Cost: A Christian Perspective on Capitalism", he found an argument against abuse is not an argument against use In Lindsley's book about C.S. Lewis, he wrote that Lewis as a young boy had a problem with prayer and quit praying because he found it inadequate. Lewis found that just because something is old or something from the past that it is wrong. He also struggled with the problem of evil. He found that if evil is real, there had to be a sufficient basis for it. A discussion between Lewis and Tolkien about myths made a big impact on Lewis. Lewis found a contradiction between his reason and his imagination. From his book "Love The Ultimate Apologetic", 2 of the major worldviews that standpoint against Christianity, Atheism (all is natural) and Eastern Religion (all is spiritual) provide no basis for love. The path to love  Work - Jesus was a small business-man for about 20 years and was noted in His field for being excellent at what He did and He spent 3 years in ministry. It must be OK to be in business and to work with your hands. Work-life balance - we're called to be faithful in every area of our lives (God, church, family, work, health). No one area is to drive out the others. There should be a compatibility between these things. There's always a way to make time for everything if you work with your schedules. Our ultimate purpose from Genesis is to work. Because of the Fall, we have alienation from the creation (our work). We are to reverse the effect of sin through redemption including work. Work is valuable in and of itself. Most people don't fully grasp that. One professor said there are times when it's immoral to share the Gospel at work. We don't just work to share the Gospel or to make money. The primary purpose of work is to be faithful with the gifts God has given us.

Although still in her twenties, Louise Bleach has already lived an amazingly full life, busying herself in sustainability projects designed to make the world a better place. Born and raised in Hong Kong, she moved to Edinburgh to do a Masters in Social Anthropology, which included a fascinating, on-the-ground thesis on spiritual exorcisms in nomadic Moroccan desert tribes. Disillusioned with the rat race in London, she decided to totally change her life by plopping her finger on an atlas with the intent of moving to whichever country it landed on! That country turned out to be Malawi, and her brave adventures continued there with a three-year stint studying permaculture and cultivating fair trade mangoes. Initially a huge success, this social project was utterly destroyed by the greed of gas/mining investors who took over the plant and squeezed all the joy out of the operation to maximize profits. This situation is a perfect micro-study of how Capitalism itself is not enough to see the world straight and how its immorality and inherent lack of compassion drives inequality, foments fear and crushes communities trying desperately to find their feet. We also discuss the nature of existence, free will, other world dimensions, AI ethics and whether or not there are ghosts, spirits, and/or Gods. And she also shares her views on climate change and how we now urgently need to reduce our addiction to plastic before it's too late. Louise currently works for clean-tech company Desolenator, which desalinates water cost effectively using solar power and is beta testing the technology in Dubai, Cyprus and Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya.

The world’s wealthiest countries have donated over $2 trillion dollars in foreign aid to the world’s poorest people. Yet, despite this, 2.8 billion people worldwide still struggle to survive every day. We need a better solution. In GIVE WORK: Reversing Poverty One Job at a Time, social entrepreneur and Founder and CEO of Samasource and LXMI, Leila Janah contends that giving dignified, steady, fair-wage work is the most effective way to eradicate global poverty. Leila is the Founder and CEO of Samasource and LXMI, two companies that share a common social mission to end global poverty by giving work to people in need.  Picking up where Dambisa Moyo’s Dead Aid leaves off, GIVE WORK debunks traditional and trendy aid models and offers much-needed solutions. One of her proposals is the tried-and- true “impact sourcing” business model Samasource uses of empowering a new generation of workers in all corners of the world—from the refugee camps of Kenya to rural Arkansas to the blighted neighborhoods of California—with the tools and resources they need to do digital work for companies like Google, Walmart, and Microsoft. Leila Janah is on a mission to eradicate poverty. She dismantles the current thinking on charity and the West’s view of those most in need; she shows how traditional aid is broken, and argues that the solution rests in progressive business models, weaving together private, public, and nonprofit sectors. Powered by Janah’s own story, GIVE WORK also puts faces to the people whose lives have been transformed through obtaining steady work and earned income. We can end extreme poverty. Janah in GIVE WORK delivers a powerful and inspiring vision for the future of the global workforce in the digital age, offering a blueprint for how companies can tap into this population of people, all while making a tremendous difference.

In Robert Lupton's book, Toxic Charity, Lupton has strong things to say to materially rich ‪#‎Christians‬ about ‪#‎money‬, ‪#‎power‬, and ‪#‎dependency‬. Two statistics from his book include: * ‪#‎Africa‬ has received $1 trillion in benevolent aid in the last 50 years, and per capita income is now lower, life expectancy has stagnated, and adult literacy is lower. * U.S. missions teams who rushed to ‪#‎Honduras‬ to help rebuild homes destroyed by Hurricane Mitch spent on average $30,000 per home—homes locals could have built for $3,000 each. No one wants to think their generosity hurts people, but books like Dead Aid and When Helping Hurts have alerted us to the problem. So what is going on? The answer is complex and involves issues of basic economics, power, dependency, and bad motives. In the Season 2 penultimate episode of the Here & There Podcast, I sit down with Mark Crocker of STMLeader.com to talk ‪#‎relief‬, ‪#‎development‬, ‪#‎ownership‬, ‪#‎partnership‬, ‪#‎simplesolutions‬ and ‪#‎doingnoharm‬. Comments and discussion is both welcomed and encouraged!

Contemporary criticism by global health experts of much of short term medical missions activity (Dead Aid, When Helping Hurts) is valid. We have a tendency to justify use of US diagnostic and treatment guidelines in low income countries as equitable while demonstrably unreasonable and harmful. Careful consideration of the whole care process from care access to care follow-up including all costs including harms and benefits coupled with compassion leads to cost-effective, patient-centric care

In order to ensure its economic development and survival, every country strives to secure and stockpile natural resources. Few countries are as aggressive with their resource campaigns as China. Join Dr. Dambisa Moyo, New York Times bestselling author of Dead Aid and How the West was Lost, for an in depth look at China’s unprecedented rush for resources and what it means for the rest of the world.

One of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people and best-selling author of Dead Aid reveals the economic myopia of the West and the radical solutions it needs to adopt in order to assert itself as a global economic power once again.

Oxford economist and Africa expert Paul Collier, author of "The Plundered Planet", looks at how the natural resources of Africa's poorest countries must be managed for the sake of their own prosperity, instead of being plundered. Also, Zambian-born Dambisa Moyo, a Harvard and Oxford-educated economist who has worked at the World Bank and at Goldman Sachs, talks about her new book "Dead Aid", in which she looks at the history of foreign aid to Africa and argues that it's been disastrous for Africa and must stop.

Dambisa Moyo, the internationally renowned author and economist, presents material from her books, Dead Aid and How the West Was Lost, looking at the policies that affect both Africa and the West. Dambisa Moyo, the internationally renowned author and economist, shares her thoughts on the policies affecting both Africa and the West in this lecture given at Oxford's Rhodes House. Utilizing research from her books 'Dead Aid' and 'How the West Was Lost', Ms. Moyo challenges the policy choices the West has made, both towards Africa and internally, and the detrimental effect they have had - and are continuing to have.
