“For God’s Sake, Please Stop the Aid!”

In addition, development aid weakens the local markets everywhere and dampens the spirit of entrepreneurship that we so desperately need.

Only the functionaries would be hard hit. Which is why they maintain that the world would stop turning without this development aid.”
James Shikwati, a Kenyan economist in an interview with Spiegel
