Comments on: A conversation with economic specialist Dambisa Moyo

I agree that it is sensible to make aid data based rather than pity based, and I even agree that the whole notion of "aid" and "development" are problematic in that they are hierarchical and paternalistic. So I am in general sympathetic to Mrs. Moyo's arguments, however I find her approach overly hostile to aid to the point that it seems a bit dogmatic. I mean should we force HIV patients to pay market prices? Never the less a thought provoking interview.
