He has written an account of what happened to him-all the more poignant because the relationship started with such promise, progressed so well and yet fate intervened. He is a Punjabi, born in West Bengal, brought up in a small town of Orissa, who studied for his BE in Computer Science from Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College in Karnataka and now works as a software engineer with Infosys Technologies, Chandigarh.

A true advocate and self-described “celebrator” for the fairy tale, she is also the editor of three anthologies dedicated to the exploration of the form and is the founder and editor of the popular Fairy Tale Review. Bernheimer is the author of three novels– The Complete Tales of Ketzia Gold, The Complete Tales of Merry Gold, and the forthcoming The Complete Tales of Lucy Gold -and three children’s books - The Girl in the Castle Inside the Museum, and the forthcoming The Lonely Book and The Girl Who Wouldn’t Brush Her Hair.

Worse, aid isn’t just ineffective, it is counter-productive. To summarise, western countries have pumped a trillion dollars into Africa over the last half century with almost nothing to show for it. The title of the book makes Moyo’s thesis pretty clear: Dead Aid – why aid is not working and how there is another way for Africa. Furthermore, Dambisa Moyo is a woman, and an African, in a debate that is rather weighted towards white men in Western universities. It’s got a lot of attention because while there are many books that critique development aid, none have come out quite as aggressively and entirely against it.
