Aid and Other Dirty Business – Giles Bolton

Aid and Other Dirty Business by Giles Bolton

Aid and Other Dirty Business is Giles Bolton’s sharp, accessible, and eye-opening examination of why Africa remains poor despite decades of foreign aid. Drawing on firsthand experience inside the aid industry, Bolton exposes how broken trade rules, political interests, and flawed development systems keep African countries trapped in cycles of dependency. He explains where aid money actually goes, why global trade structures work against African economies, and how ordinary citizens in the West unknowingly contribute to the problem. This provocative and practical book challenges common assumptions and empowers readers to rethink how real change can happen. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
