FAMOUS WOMEN ECONOMISTS
Dambisa Moyo
- I was born in Lusaka, Zambia, in 1969. I received my doctorate in economics from St. Anthony's College, Oxford.
- I research and write about wealth creation and poverty issues in a global economy.
- My major work, Dead Aid: Why Aid Is Not Working and How There Is a Better Way for Africa, was published in 2009.
- I argue that traditional foreign aid from Western nations has lined the pockets of corrupt administrative officials, asserting that it should instead be directed to economically viable job-creating activities.
