'Give and Take should be the primer on the aid industry. David Sogge makes clear why aid, in its present incarnation, will never help the poor.' - Joe Hanlon, writer'Little has been written on aid other than the usual uncritical reports of donor agencies. In this important book David Sogge suggests the principles that should govern a very different pattern of globalization, one based on democracy and equal relations between Third World and donor countries - a far cry indeed from the present situation.' - Samir Amin'David Sogge takes us up and down the "aid chain" and through the chequered history of foreign assistance. Impressively researched and reasoned, "Give and Take" leaves no doubt that calls for greater aid are pure folly until today's "market fundamentalism" and other donor agendas are rejected and systems of accountability to the poor we claim to assist are established.' - Doug Hellinger, Executive Director, The Development Group for Alternative Policies'Highly critical of the way foreign aid has worked in practice, this ambitious book also outlines some core principles which could lead to aid making a positive difference for poor people.' - Roger Riddell, Christian Aid, "David Sogge takes us up and down the "aid chain" and through the chequered history of foreign assistance.

Synopsis
Foreign aid is a global endeavour with a huge turnover. But it is a troubled industry with few successes to its name, yet expected to respond to new and very complex problems. Can it do so? Supposed to be benign and selfless, it often harms more than it helps, and benefits givers more than receivers. Can it stop doing so? Can we create a system of genuine help -- democratic in its execution, effective in its impact, adequate in scale, just in its consequences? Give and Take grasps these questions.Foreign aid is an issue that concerns us all, financially and morally. This thoughtful book argues that aid must be made less of a problem, more of a solution., Foreign aid is a global endeavour with a huge turnover.
