The Road to Hell highlights the negative consequences of international charity. As urbanization dismantles social security nets all over the world, communities are finding it ever harder to recover from disasters, wars, etc. Victims are shepherded into camps and become addicted to a new way of living. This addiction is fueled by political and business interests overlapping.
This book highlights the various interests at play in international relief efforts in Somalia and how they combine effectively to not solve the problems they are trying to solve.
A lot good i am sure was done. However, on a macro scale much damage was also done. The example of Somalia is heart rending.
A must read for anyone interested in how to bring development to the poor of Africa.
