Focusing on the flaws within international aid programs, Eberhard Reusse draws from three decades of experience to diagnose systemic issues in rural development initiatives, particularly in Africa. Through case studies, he highlights the disconnect between local populations and development experts, revealing how unrealistic Western paradigms misidentify needs and perpetuate ineffective programs. The book critiques the lack of accountability and suggests fundamental solutions, including direct accountability to taxpayers and the privatization of aid, making it essential reading for those in the field.
