Dead Aid: Why Aid Is Not Working and How There Is a Better Way for Africa book by Dambisa Moyo

In Dead Aid, Zambian economist Dambisa Moyo challenges the long-held belief that foreign aid helps Africa develop. She argues that decades of aid have often created dependency, corruption, and economic stagnation instead of growth. Drawing on economic data and real-world examples, Moyo presents a bold case for new strategies that encourage investment, trade, and self-sustaining development across the continent.
