Doing Bad By Doing Good by Jerry A. Coyne
Why Humanitarian Action Fails
This insightful book delves into the unintended consequences of well-intentioned humanitarian efforts, highlighting how these initiatives can sometimes exacerbate the very problems they aim to solve. Through a series of case studies and analyses, the author argues that without a deep understanding of local contexts and a careful consideration of long-term impacts, aid projects can lead to dependency, stifle local innovation, and even perpetuate cycles of poverty. The narrative challenges readers to rethink the conventional approaches to aid and encourages a more thoughtful, context-sensitive strategy for fostering sustainable development.
