Greg Ux’s Reviews > The Aid Trap: Hard Truths About Ending Poverty > Status Update

I do not appreciate the large, sweeping, reductionist claims the authors tend to make throughout the book. Of course we know that economic poverty is endemic throughout the world, but making observational claims about WHY it is so, and offering hypothetical situations as evidence - for example: “looking at border guards in action” (p 72.) - without offering citation is wholly irresponsible.
