"If Americans knew the real story of foreign aid...."

"If Americans knew the real story of foreign aid and how it has deformed recipient economies, aided repressive regimes, and even contributed to violent strife, they would oppose it even more strongly than they already do.  If they knew about the record of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank when it comes to helping developing countries, they would be similarly appalled.  At long last, these seemingly untouchable programs need to be called into question, and then, in the name of liberty and humanity, discarded forever." -Page 101 of The Revolution, A Manifesto
