A fascinating by William Easterly, who used to work for the World Bank and now teaches at New York University as part of its Development Research Institute, and runs the Aid Watch Blog along with Laura Freschi, also of the Development Research Institute. Easterly has been described as an “aid skeptic”, though I am not sure this description quite fits him.
