Hi Lev, all - My understanding isn't that Aryan implies that any charity is harmful; personally I think that charity can provide social safety net in communities (an alternative to that state-run), and may be an instrument of development. I let Aryan elaborate his view if that's different. I reject argument of guilt by association. Ms. Moyo's case against handouts is solid. Her Goldman employ doesn't matter. I honestly don't know why Goldman Sachs is demonised - they are Red Hat of banks.

As for Dambisa Moyo's article, I would be wary about taking too much advise on such matters from a "former economist at Goldman Sachs". They have a reputation, you know.
