Moyo’s basic argument is that foreign aid is actually counter-productive precisely because we are so willing to give it: because leaders are virtually guaranteed to receive foreign aid, they do not attempt to use it to benefit their populations. It stands, along William Easterly’s The Elusive Quest for Growth and The White Man’s Burden, as the central work of foreign aid scepticism. Dambisa Moyo’s best-selling 2009 book Dead Aid caused a considerable stir upon its release written by a young African woman, it stood out in a field dominated by ageing, white academics.
