The White Man's Burden

Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good
Book • 2006
In this book, William Easterly critiques the West's economic policies towards the world's poor, arguing that these policies have led to more harm than good.

Easterly, drawing from his decades of experience in international development, advocates for a more nuanced approach that focuses on small, incremental solutions rather than grand, macro-level plans.

He emphasizes the importance of accountability, independent evaluation of aid programs, and understanding the domestic conditions of the countries receiving aid.
