So you may remember Dambisa Moyo, the Zambian author from her 2009 book Dead Aid, in which she exposes how foreign aid has not done any good, but actually hurt the economies of Africa.

It was really refreshing (and helpful) to have an actual African speaking this truth. Not only because it’s nice to see that at least some of them get it, but more so that this information is coming from the mouth of a black, female, African, educated at Harvard and Oxford…as in, precisely the kind of person the Leftist “do gooders” love, and one of the few they can’t easily dismiss using their usual tactics…because as you can see she basically neutralizes all of their typical weapons (e.g. racist, sexist, eurocentrist, ignorant/uneducated/dumb). It also helps that she’s in the best position to tell these paternalistic, condescending douchebags that they don’t know what’s best for Africans.

Unfortuantely now she’s out with a new book…and…well…this is the teaser:
