>we’ve learned through efforts in the 80s that charity breeds dependence

Is this the sort of thinking that led to the famine walls being built?

Why do people think this?




I doubt it. I’m specifically referencing the numerous studies done on foreign aid to Africa that decimated their ability to sustain local agriculture.


Can you link to one of these studies please?


This is from a 2 second Google search. I'm sure you can go to scholar.google.com and find your own - it's not my job to do your research.
