Dead Aid: Why aid is not working and how there is another way for Africa

The Guardian says Moyo has written a "big idea book" on foreign aid.

But is aid truly "dead"? Should the West "turn off the taps" to Africa? Now's your chance to hear the woman who is being called the "anti-Bono" by the New York Times.

Dambisa Moyo was born and raised in Zambia. She completed a D.Phil in economics at Oxford University and holds a Masters from Harvard. She completed a Bachelors degree in Chemistry and an MBA in Finance at the American University in Washington, D.C. She worked at Goldman Sachs for 8 years in the debt capital markets, hedge fund coverage and in global macroeconomics teams. Previously, she worked at the World Bank.
