Isabel Hilton on how African thinkers are rejecting the idea of foreign aid. Western countries want to help poverty-stricken countries, but does their help exacerbate problems?
Isabel Hilton hears how some African thinkers are now rejecting the idea of overseas aid. Western countries want to help poverty-stricken countries - but does their help exacerbate, not alleviate, problems?
Dambisa Moyo, a Zambian banker based in London, wants to destroy the myth that it actually works.

Isabel challenges Dambisa to put her case to a group of guests.
