Analysis: Big Aid Is Over

By Kevin Starr

We didn’t look for it, and we sure as hell don’t condone how it happened, but the era of Big Aid is over. The callous glee with which our own administration choked off aid is something I will never forgive or forget, but sadly we’re not alone. Other rich countries have tacked to the right, decided to spend the money on defense, or simply lost sight of generosity. The fix is in.
