  Friends of the Earth commissioned the author of this book to conduct an enquiry into Britain's aid to the Third World. The results are presented here, describing the history of aid and its multiple forms. The author analyzes the different kinds of aid and its differing effects. The book is an effective plea from one of the West's more influential environmentalist lobbies, for concentration of aid effort on sustainable projects and for a move away from profitable investment to genuine support for the livelihood of the poor.
