Why Foreign Aid Can Work
Bill Gates reviews Getting Better: Why Global Development Is Succeeding -- and How We Can Improve the World Even More by Charles Kenny:

"Stepping into the public square to announce that foreign aid is important and effective can be lonely work. As someone who has attempted to make that case over the past decade, I can assure you that the world is often eager to hear just the opposite. But aid money can and does work. It improves people's lives and makes the world a better and safer place. Fortunately, an elegant and deeply researched new book has come along to reframe the debate and tip it, I hope, in a new direction."
