The Book That Shook the World: Dead Aid

In 2009, Moyo penned Dead Aid, a provocative critique of traditional foreign assistance to Africa. The book argued that aid had become a crutch, perpetuating dependency and corruption rather than fostering genuine economic growth. Her message was clear: the key to Africa’s future lay in investment, trade, and sound economic policies, not in handouts.


The release of Dead Aid ignited fierce debates. Critics accused Moyo of being too idealistic, while supporters hailed her as a fearless truth-teller. Yet, no one could deny the book’s impact. It forced policymakers, academics, and citizens to rethink the role of aid in development and inspired many African leaders to
explore market-driven solutions.
