In the many studies of the World Bank, a critical issue has been missed. While writers have looked at the Bank's political economy, lending, conditions, advice, ownership and accounting for issues such as the environment, this study looks at the Bank as an organization - whether it is set up to do the job it is supposed to do and, if not, what should be done about it. This book is about the problems of organization and reorganization as much as it is about the problems of assisting third-world development, and it is a case study in flawed organizational reform as much as a critique of the way development assistance is managed. It covers the period that starts at the time of the first major reorganization, in 1987 under President Barber Conable, and ends at the time of the resignation of Paul Wolfowitz, in 2007, but it focuses especially on what happened during the tenure of James Wolfensohn.

Before Charles Darwin was born, his grandfather, Erasmus, wrote a book titled Zoonomia, exploring the subject of evolution. Erasmus was a polymath who was a founder member of the Derby Philosophical Society and a member of the Birmingham Lunar Society. It was, however, to fall to his grandson to put flesh on his ideas and take the accolades. As Charles Darwin's ideas have been elaborated upon, and confirmed, his denial of God's existence has caused most of the people in England to welcome his apostasy. It has given them a freedom to express themselves, but that has had costs. A country advances by means of its disciplines, and that includes universities that found belief in God an encumbrance. If only they had taken to psychiatrist Karl Gustav Jung, who famously said he believed in God, rather than atheists Sigmund Freud and Immanuel Kant, things may have been different. Boys in particular need disciplining to reach their true potential, so that they smarten their genes rather than allow them, and their offspring, to become flaccid. The book suggests retired soldiers; particularly those who have overcome serious injuries inflicted in conflicts should play a part in their education in the quest to achieve a virtuous manhood. The book also reflects on fourteen hundred years of Islam and how it continues to plague the world with terrorism.

“Development Without Aid” opens up perspectives about foreign aid to the world’s poorest countries. Growing up in Malawi the author developed a sense of the limitations of foreign assistance and from this evolves a critique of foreign aid as an alien resource unable to provide the dynamism that could propel the poorest countries out of poverty. The book aims to help move the discussion beyond foreign aid. It examines the rapid growth of the world’s diasporas as a quasi-indigenous resource of increasing strength in terms of both financial and human capital, and considers how far such a resource might supersede aid. It uses extensive research findings to explore the possibilities for a resumption of sovereignty by poor states, especially in Africa, over their own development with the assistance of the world’s diasporas.
