Quotes by Dambisa Moyo  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“In a perfect world what poor countries at the lowest rungs of economic development need is not a multi-party democracy, but in fact a decisive benevolent dictator to push through the reforms required to get the economy moving”
Dambisa Moyo, Dead Aid: Why Aid Is Not Working and How There Is a Better Way for Africa

“Ask most people who live in a home and have a mortgage on it whether they own their own home and the answer is almost guaranteed to be a resounding 'yes'. Yet it's the wrong answer. Technically speaking, until they have paid the mortgage off, they don't own it. Herein lies the difference between reality and illusion, between ownership and control. This confusion lies not only at the individual level, but also at the heart of government thinking.”
Dambisa Moyo, How the West Was Lost: Fifty Years of Economic Folly- and the Stark Choices Ahead

“I wish we questioned the aid model as much as we are questioning the capitalism model. Sometimes the most generous thing you can do is just say no.”
Dambisa Moyo
