Overview

This book examines numerous facets of U.S. foreign aid, including: whether foreign aid has benefitted or harmed developing nations; whether Congress should cut foreign aid; and whether aid to Africa helps poor nations or supports corrupt regimes. Readers will learn about the level of accountability that should be demanded from recipient nations, and whether do-it-yourself, amateur philanthropists help or harm developing nations.
