  1. Agastya Singh

    This book is essential reading. It’s a critical look at Western intervention and its unintended consequences. Highly recommended.

  2. Rohan Sharma

    A thought-provoking but somewhat dense read. Lakshmi raises important questions about Western aid, but the writing could be more accessible.

  3. Devansh Agrawal

    A powerful critique. It’s a bit academic at times but ultimately a rewarding read. It made me think about the world differently.

  4. Dhroopad Verma

    An interesting perspective, but I felt it was a bit biased. Still, it’s worth reading to consider different viewpoints.

  5. Divya Mishra

    A very informative and insightful book. Though it could be dense and challenging to follow at times.

  6. Antra Kumari

    Lakshmi presents a compelling argument. While the data can be overwhelming, the overall message is clear and crucial.

  7. Chirag Mulchandani

    I learned so much about the complexities of aid. Lakshmi’s analysis is sharp and insightful, though the topic can be depressing.

  8. Supriya Sahu

    Eye-opening! This book challenged my assumptions about international development. A must-read for anyone interested in global economics.

  9. Ayush

    I appreciated the author’s perspective, though I found myself disagreeing with some of her conclusions. Still worth the read.

  10. Shuvadip Sinha

    An absolute eye opener regarding foreign aid. I never thought about it this way, this book is truly informative.

  11. Himanshu Choudhary

    Important content, but the book was dry and difficult to get through. I wish it was more engaging.

  12. Sanju Nath Pradeep

    A good starting point for understanding the problems with international aid, but it could delve deeper into solutions.
