Foreign Aid Through Private Investment Banking
Channel: The Philosophical Angle
Date: 2012-10-19

Since research literature has indicated that foreign aid has produced almost no positive results, The Philosophical Angle suggests that the non-military aid be placed through the use of private investment banks via the World Bank.  The result will be to place the profit incentive into the aid program.  

Aid will flow from the U.S. government to the World Bank to private investment banks throughout the world which will invest in local businesses that need capital to grow and expand.  This will create jobs and raise the standard of living.  

Further, the profits from those foreign local businesses will accrue to those expanding companies and to its owners which will range from the local owners to the investment bankers, the World Bank, to the U.S. government, and ultimately to the taxpayers which provided the investment funds through the receipts of the dividends and through the capital appreciation of the companies' stock.
