THE AID TRAP
Hard Truths About Ending Poverty
By R. Glenn Hubbard / William Duggan
"The Aid Trap is not about the failure of conventional aid but provides the outline of a solution that can work if taken seriously. It is that rare prescriptive book, and the world must pay attention"
— Muhammad Yunus, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, founder of the Grameen Bank
R. Glenn Hubbard and William Duggan, two leading scholars in business and finance, offer a new Marshall Plan for the world's poorest nations. They argue that switching aid to the local business sector in order to cultivate a middle class is the oldest, surest, and only way to eliminate poverty in poor countries.
