BOOK REVIEW: The White Man's Burden

Abstract

Drawing conclusions from William Easterly's Book - The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Effort to Aid the Rest have Done so Much Ill and Little Good, this paper reviews that despite the positive influences of globalisation in some parts of the world, the rest have not benefited. It therefore urges developing countries to rely less on the West and more on economic development therapies which will eliminate the imbalances that are silently inherent in the aids extended to the Rest.
