Toxic Aid Economic Collapse And Recovery In Tanzania
What I’ve been reading (2014-10-11)

2. Sebastian Edwards, Toxic Aid: Economic Collapse and Recovery in Tanzania .  He gives foreign aid to Tanzania an “F” for the 1961-1981 period, a “B minus” for 1981-1994, and a B+ for the latter part of that period.  Edwards is a top international economist and this is one of the best thought out books on foreign aid.

1. Sebastian Edwards, Left Behind: Latin America and the False Promise of Populism .
