The Road To Hell

I am currently reading a book named ' The Road to Hell - The ravaging effects of foreign aid and international charity ' by Micheal Maren, who has spent more than 20 years working as a foreign aid worker and journalist. He was an eyewitness to the worlds worst wars, famine and natural disasters.
      The book is amazing, it makes very valid points about the way Africa is used as a source of money for the west. The charities may have a good cause, and yes they may reach Africa, but the people who benefit mostly are those who are westernized, those who have a proper house and enough food, this obviously does not refer to every charity.
      For as far as I have gotten, the book is written very well, and really makes you think twice.
