and that it should be phased out. It became a New York Times bestseller. It is published in Chinese, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese and Dutch.
The book offers proposals for developing countries to finance development, instead of relying on foreign aid. Moyo has stated that her arguments are based on those made by pro-market economists like Peter Bauer
(to whom the book is dedicated) and, later, William Easterly
. The Financial Times
summarized the book's argument: "Limitless development assistance to African governments, she argues, has fostered dependency, encouraged corruption and ultimately perpetuated poor governance and poverty." She argues that foreign aid helps perpetuate the cycle of poverty and hinders economic growth in Africa.
Harvard professor and historian Niall Ferguson wrote the foreword to Dead Aid. Quotes by the Chairman and CEO of Forbes, Steve Forbes, appear on the book jacket as well as by former United Nations Secretary-General Mr. Kofi Annan
who says "Dambisa Moyo makes a compelling case for a new approach to Africa".
Moyo's ideas are similar to those held by the Rwandan Government and President Paul Kagame
. He says that "Dead Aid has given us an accurate evaluation of the aid culture today". Kagame also invited Moyo to Rwanda to discuss her thesis and bought copies of the book for his entire cabinet. The President of Senegal, Abdoulaye Wade
has also expressed similar views on aid.
The thesis has also been noted by the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao
. Speaking at a China-Africa Cooperation summit in Egypt, he said "I have read a book titled Dead Aid written by Dambisa Moyo. The author talks about her personal experiences and draws the conclusion that China's assistance to Africa is sincere, credible, practical and efficient and is welcomed by the African people. I am confident that time will prove that friendship and cooperation between the Chinese and African people has a bright future."
In a book review, economist Paul Collier
calls Moyo's analysis "over-optimistic" in that "She implies that, were aid cut, African governments would respond by turning to other sources of finance that would make them more accountable." According to Collier, "this exaggerates the opportunity for alternative finance and underestimates the difficulties African societies face." David Roodman, a research fellow at the Center for Global Development
calls the book "sporadically footnoted, selective in its use of facts, sloppy, simplistic, illogical, and stunningly naive", while the Financial Times notes that the book "studiously ignores evidence of development assistance working."
The pro-aid organization ONE
has claimed that Dead Aid is "reckless" and that it calls to "cut-off all aid". Moyo points out in a number of interviews that this is a misrepresentation of her ideas and the Financial Times notes that ONE's campaign "at least partially backfired".
The economist Jeffrey Sachs
has said more foreign aid is needed to improve conditions for Africa but Moyo points out that when Sachs was her lecturer at Harvard it was he himself who taught that "the path to long-term development would only be achieved through private sector involvement and free market solutions".
The book offers a bold account of the decline of the economic supremacy of the West over the past 50 years. In particular, Moyo examines how America’s flawed decisions and blinkered policies choices around Capital, Labour and Technology – key ingredients for economic growth and success - have resulted in an economic and geo-political seesaw that is now poised to tip in favour of the emerging world.
In a review, Paul Collier
states that "her diagnosis of the recent disasters in financial markets is succinct and sophisticated" and continues "I applaud her brave alarum against our economic and social complacency: her core concerns are sufficiently close to painful truths to warrant our attention." Dominic Lawson writes in The Times
"This argument...can rarely have been made more concisely...Moyo is a very serious lady indeed." The Independent
says "the sad saga of the recession gives legs to Dambisa Moyo’s provocatively-entitled book, for it goes to the heart of the great economic issue of our times: how swiftly will power shift over this century?". The Guardian
says "How the West Was Lost is more interesting, wider in scale and more important than Dead Aid".
Bloomberg
summarizes "[The book] offers up a well-reasoned look at how the world’s most-advanced nations are squandering their economic lead — and how they might survive by fighting Chinese fire with fire….The book offers Western politicians a prescription for stopping the rot." Bloomberg named it one of their top business books of 2011.
In contrast, Alan Beattie of the Financial Times
says "The carelessness with fact and interpretation....reaches critical proportions here. A few examples: Iceland did not default on its sovereign debt in 2008, and nor did the UK do so “in all but name” in 1976. Former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan, whatever his faults, never predicted 'a world without inflation'." The Economist
says "these arguments need much better supporting material than the book provides".
Ireland's Sunday Business Post says "Moyo’s analysis of the fundamental underpinnings of the credit crunch, especially the role of leveraging, is ... nuanced and insightful". The London business newspaper City AM summarizes the book by saying "the game's not over for the West, and Dambisa Moyo wants us to win".
The magazine Fast Company
noted the overlapping themes in Moyo's thesis and Barack Obama
's 2011 State of the union
address saying "Obama's State of the Union speech could not have come at a better time. Last night he touched on just about every theme that Moyo explores--debt, competition, technology, clean energy, to name a few--but the most significant and shared theme between the two boils down to innovation."
