Philosophy Talk. Foreign Aid--Or Injury? - Taylor, Kenneth Allen, 1954-2019; Satz, Debra; Welborn, John (Philosophy Talk (SC1118), 2018)
Many of us might think that developed nations should lead the effort to end global poverty. But decades of foreign aid—from governments and non-governmental organizations—has failed to produce sustainable growth in the developing world. How can we empower local actors to become self-sufficient rather than dependent on foreign aid? Is there a way to help those in the developing world without inadvertently giving more power to corrupt dictators? Do developed nations have an obligation to fight global poverty the right way? Debra and Ken enlist the aid of Dartmouth economist John Welborn.
