Negative Positive
Title: Lords of Poverty -indeed!
Review: Even though the book is dated it is still valid today! I have worked with humanitarian agencies and have seen the corruption and favoritism to westerners or those called "technical experts'". In my view the major portion of aid donation to developing countries are recycled back to Western countries via high salaried and allowances to the "Western Technical Experts". In most cases agencies and donors employ their own nationals to run the aid business in developing countries and so the money go back to their own economy!I have also seen the luxurious life the UN staff enjoy e.g. The UN compound in Western Sudan is equipped with swimming pool-when the locals could hardly find sufficient water to drink-what an irony.
Is the review positive or negative?
