American foreign aid may have been more costly to receive than to give-
and that is very costly indeed. That is my conclusion after reading Nick Eber-
stadt's penetrating account of the collapse of our aid programs.
                        -Edward C, Banfield
                        Author of The Unheaveny City

How to help poor people with the governments now in power is surely the
development dilemma for the 1990s; Eberstadt's book explains how hard this
will be and provides helpful pointers on how to begin.
                        -C. Peter Timmer
                        John D. Black Professor of Development, At-Large
                        Harvard University

A good account of the mistakes in the conception and execution of the U.S.
foreign aid program
                        -Edward Mason
                        Former dean, Harvard University Graduate School
                          of Public Administration
                        Former deputy assistant secretary of state

Nick Eberstadt's Foreign Aid and American Purpose is an insightful analy-
sis.... The specific recommendations he makes about desirable changes in
aid policies and funding are serious, sound, and sensible. Whatever admin-
istration occupies the White House in 1989 would do well to heed his sugges-
tions.
                        - Charles Wolf, Jr.
                        Dean of the Rand Graduate School
                        Director of the International Economic
                          Policy Program

Is American foreign aid policy working? What are its unintended-
even harmful-effects? Nicholas Eberstadt goes beyond a strictly eco-
nomic analysis to arrive at the heart of these issues. Foreign aid and
foreign policy must share a common purpose-and economic issues
must not be divorced from moral principles.
  Nicholas Eberstadt is a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise
Institute and a visiting fellow at Harvard University's Center for Pop-
ulation Studies. He is the author of Poverty in China and The Poverty of
Communism.
