A new book The Trouble with Aid: Why Less Could Mean More for Africaby Jonathan Glennie (the Christian Aid representative in Colombia) says that aid can do more harm than good.

In the latest edition of the Development Drums podcast, I talk to Jonathan about his book.  He explains why he thinks that we need to take a more complete view of the positive and negative impacts of aid, and he disagrees with my view that aid can be made to work better.
