simple development wisdom

'you can't donate people out of poverty.'

and that is, pretty much, why foreign aid won't work. sorry fans of the .7% gdp to foreign aid (of which i used to be), i just don't think it will work. it may have paid my salary and pay my salary again in the future. but i no longer have faith it will work.

thanks, paul polak and the hour with george stroumboulopoulos.
