Lords of Poverty

Description

Lords of Poverty is a case study in betrayals of a public trust. The shortcomings of aid are numerous, and serious enough to raise questions about the viability of the practice at its most fundamental levels. Hancockâ s report is thorough, deeply shocking, and certain to cause critical reevaluation—of the governmentâ s motives in giving foreign aid, and of the true needs of our intended beneficiaries.
