Dead Aid: Why Aid Is Not Working and How There Is a Better Way for Africa Paperback – by Dambisa Moyo & Niall Ferguson (Foreword)

Dead Aid by renowned Zambian economist Dambisa Moyo challenges the traditional model of foreign aid in Africa and argues that aid has done more harm than good for the continent.

With sharp analysis and real-world examples, Moyo explains how reliance on aid fuels corruption, fosters dependency, and undermines economic growth.

Instead, she presents bold and sustainable alternatives—including trade, investment, microfinance, and capital markets—that could empower Africa to thrive independently.

With a foreword by historian Niall Ferguson, this groundbreaking book redefines the conversation on development and offers a practical blueprint for Africa’s economic future.
