Description

Even after years of receiving considerable foreign aid, Haiti remains an impoverished, tremendously fragile state. Over a span of ten years, the United States spent over $4 billion in aid to Haiti, yet the average Haitian still has to survive on one dollar a day. Why has assistance been so ineffectual, and what can we learn from Haiti’s plight about foreign aid in general? Haiti in the Balance tackles those questions by analysing nearly twenty years of Haitian history, politics, and foreign relations.
