I would agree that foreign aid is not the path to economic growth. In addition, the elites can and often do confiscate control of the aid and use it to reinforce their control and exploitation, and thus to reduce the likelihood of economic growth.
Wow. Another method to "improve" aid. Just get rid of the dammed thing. It's bad enough democracy forces people to give welfare to the lazy bums of our society, but now we have to give handouts to a bunch of third rate countries? The only thing the UN should focus on ensuring freedom of navigation and aviation and territorial integrity. Just rid of the IMF and World Bank as well.
Please read more carefully before posting. This article does not try to improve aid. I argue that foreign aid does not lead to long-term economic growth.
And if you want me to let you keep commenting, you need to cut the snark!
