Description
Book SynopsisThis is a study of the effectiveness of aid that the North provides to help the economic development of the South. Robert Cassen and associates range as widely as possible over the whole of official Western aid, and present the facts of what has and what has not been achieved. For this second edition the author has fully revised the text and the data, to reduce the technical content of the book, and to incorporate research findings since 1986.
Trade ReviewFrom reviews of the first edition: `this is a welcome volume which deserves a place on development economics reading lists, while it is also accessible to the general reader' Economica
