really liked it

Fascinating read....though I had some difficulty in grasping the more intricate points of the analyis. But I'm no economist, and in spite of not "getting" some of the fine detail, I was easily able to understand the main thrust of Moyo's argument. Compelling stuff. Many reviewers have noted that the solutions pointed out in the book are somewhat simplistic ones. However, Africa does have to start somewhere and aid seems ineffective. This book, while it may not contain the perfect answer, does at least open interesting dialogue and discussion regarding the problem...a jumping-off point for finding a viable solution.
