Here’s an excellent talk about the problem of international aid and the intervention of so-called “Western Experts” to “fix” health and poverty around the world.

Professor Easterly is eloquent on the core theme of my occasional posts about Climate Change, Food Policy and other sundry mad-cap ideas that motivate our elites. Namely that the pretense that “we know better” and must fix the problems of the developing world is both condescending and immoral. It disenfranchises our fellow human beings. And, as Professor Easterly notes, it kills!
