Excellent piece, Nikos. I propose you follow it up with a sequel featuring USAID's malfeasance and wanton waste of taxpayer money. USAID fraud proves altruism's power: wasting billions must be virtuous because they were given to "others."
Many thanks Jim. Another good follow-up would be US aid to Soviet Union in subsequent decades. That's a nice point you're making here: 'USAID fraud proves altruism's power: wasting billions must be virtuous because they were given to "others."'
The famine cost 5 million lives. The aid was feeding millions per day. Without the aid, Soviet Union would be facing a Cambodia-style collapse. Cambodian regime lasted less than 4 years.
