PBS discussion on foreign aid

Lots of pros and cons...

Do you make people buy things to help themselves (but some are too poor to do so) or do you give them away (and they end up on the black market used for other reasons).

It's late and I don't think it says anything profound...

Wonder if they would do something useful, like ask the Chinese merchants to set up factories...

Naaah...don't think so, since the article keeps refering to the "white man's burden"...
