After more than four decades and $500 billion in international aid, much of Africa remains as poor. The same is true around the world: Aid flows profusely to governments with little or no inclination to control corruption and reduce poverty. Despite tough talk about “good governance,” it is still largely business as usual: predatory governments pretend to be promoting development, and the donors profess to be aiding it.The losers are the people of these so-called “developing countries,”who lack the schools,clinics,medicines,roads, housing,irrigation,sanitation,drinking water,credit, and justice that they need to be productive—or even survive.
