Thanks to Arts and Letters Daily, I just read this fascinating interviewwith a young African woman named Dambisa Moyo, who’s publishing a scathing new book indicting the liberal elitist “benefactor” mentality that drives the Anglo world’s policy towards Africa. She makes several quick but devastatingly sharp insights about the free market system and our narcissistic nannying of Africa. And the New York Times ran this?
Forty years ago, China was poorer than many African countries. Yes, they have money today, but where did that money come from? They built that, they worked very hard to create a situation where they are not dependent on aid.
Care to comment on America’s stimulus package, Ms. Moyo?
