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.

Optimal Quality
Format: Board book
This book is sturdy, colorful and cute. The baby likes it, so we are happy we got it. The whole collection is worthwhile, and is very well designed for little hands. The baby is now 18 mo old.

Lazy quality
Format: Board book
My book came with a big, ugly, torn off sticker across the front. We collect the Babies Love books for our baby and I just really did not appreciate the ugliness of the outer cover. Seems like laziness to not remove that before sending it to a paying customer.

Just ok
Format: Board book
Love the concept of teaching baby kindness. The words in this one miss the mark unfortunately. This is not one of our favorites.
