Focus in this discussion of foreign aid is on the following: the creation of the 3rd world as the most important and far reaching result of foreign aid anomalies of aid aid and economic growth how aid can inhibit development the distribution of foreign aid aid and restitution and reshaping aid policy. For more than 30 years official Western aid has gone to the 3rd world. Over this period major deficiencies and anomalies have become apparent. These untoward results might not be so significant if the policy had served to promote the well-being of the peoples of the 3rd world but it has not done so. It is foreign aid that has brought into existence the 3rd world (also called the South). It thus underlies the so-called North-South dialogue or confrontation. The source of the North-South conflict is foreign aid; it is not its solution. The paramount significance of aid lies in this important political result. Foreign aid has created 2 fictions: the 3rd world as a substantially uniform collectivity with common interests; and the West as another substantially uniform collectivity a powerful decision making unit or homogeneous aggregate manipulating the world economy to the common advantages of its constituents. The use of the term "aid" to describe the transfer of taxpayers money to distant governments and to official international organizations preempts criticism obscures issues and prejudges the results. The prevailing uncritical approach to these official wealth transfers has permitted startling anomalies to flourish e.g. the provision of aid to governments at war with each other. The central argument for foreign aid has remained that without it 3rd world countries cannot progress at a reasonable rate or cannot progress at all. The adverse repercussions of official aid operate on the personal social and political factors which actually determine economic development. Aid increases the money patronage and power of the recipient governments and thereby their grip over the rest of society. Also aid is likely to bias development policy towards unsuitable external models and it impairs the international competitiveness of economic activities in the recipient countries. Foreign aid does not go to the poor people but to their rulers. In sum the central and most significant result of foreign aid has been the establishment of the 3rd world as a collectivity a collectivity which is generally hostile to the West.
