Foreign Aid: Who鈥檚 The Most Generous?

In foreign aid terms what鈥檚 the best way of measuring how generous a country is?

Last month Donald Trump said that 鈥榯he United States is the world鈥檚 largest giver in the world by far of foreign aid鈥�. This prompted a number of listeners to email More or Less to ask whether he was right and if just looking at the total numbers is the best way of measuring how generous a country is. We crunch the numbers and talk to Brad Parks from research lab Aiddata about aid donations from some of the world鈥檚 more secretive countries.
