Dambisa Moyo, a Zambian-born economist known for her incisive analysis of macroeconomics and global affairs, holds a PhD in economics from Oxford University and a master’s degree from Harvard University. In her provocative book Dead Aid: Why Aid Is Not Working and How There Is Another Way for Africa (2009), Moyo challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding development aid. She critically examines how the original goals of foreign aid—sustainable economic growth and poverty alleviation—have failed.
