Dambisa Moyo's book, "Dead Aid," argues that aid has not helped Africa and has actually hindered its development. Moyo, a Zambian-born economist, asserts that aid creates dependency, fosters corruption, and hinders economic growth. Instead, she proposes alternatives to aid such as trade, foreign direct investment, microfinance, bond markets, and partnerships with countries like China. Moyo emphasizes that Africa can achieve sustainable growth and development by focusing on good governance, accountable leadership, trade, investment, and entrepreneurship.
