In this shocking and rigorously researched book, James S. Henry follows the trail of an extraordinary puzzle: What has become of the more than $2.7 trillion of debt, aid, and investment dollars that was made available to the developing world since the 1970s? And why-despite all this capital-is so much of the developing world still locked in poverty?
