Sad that there are still people who have not read Cohen and Dupas (2010).
About a decade ago I read an article in the NYT about the Gates foundation giving mosquito nets to African countries. The idea was to stop the spread of malaria. Instead the Africans used them for fishing - and quickly depleted their fishing stocks, causing hunger and a decline in nutrition.
How many other interventions into Africa are like this? What do Western technocrats with no understanding of local conditions (we are not talking about Dr. Livingston here) do in other ways that just disrupt and damage the local societies?
