The $2.3 Trillion Question Nobody Wants to Answer
Here's a puzzle that should keep us up at night: Western nations have poured $2.3 trillion into foreign aid over five decades. That's enough money to buy every person in Africa a small house. Yet children still die from malaria because twelve-cent medicines never reach them. Mothers still lose babies because three-dollar interventions aren't available. Something is profoundly, systematically broken-and it's not what you think. The problem isn't stingy donors or insufficient funds. It's that we've been asking the wrong question entirely. Instead of "How can we help?" we've been asking "How can we fix them?"-a subtle but catastrophic difference that has shaped every failed intervention, every wasted billion, every preventable death.
