Bad Samaritans: The Guilty Secrets of Rich Nations and the Threat to Global Prosperity
What if those who claim to rescue the global poor are the very ones tightening their chains? Bad Samaritans rips away the moral façade of free-market evangelism, revealing a world where rich nations preach openness while guarding their own prosperity behind walls of hypocrisy. With sharp wit and unforgiving logic, it exposes the quiet sabotage embedded in economic advice—how development is stifled not by corruption or incompetence alone, but by the deliberate policies of those who “help.” Is the path to progress paved by imitation, or rebellion? This book dares readers to question the fairness of the global order—and to see who truly benefits when the powerful cry reform.
