Does aid work? Yes - for Britain - Comment - Times Online

Does aid work? Yes - for Britain - Comment - Times Online: "Though relatively poor, Africa is not helplessly dependent upon the West, contrary to the general story we hear. Africa�s education system props up Britain�s NHS with a hidden subsidy when trained nurses and doctors come here to work. Britain benefits from increasingly cheap African commodities because of markets skewed through tariffs and subsidies to ensure that little value can be added to raw products at source in Africa. Capital flight, mainly from corrupt African officials recycling Western aid, finds its way into Western banks creating a net outflow of resources from Africa. If anything, it is the West that should wean itself off African aid. " This is another " Western World Must Read " David
