Description: "International aid and loans describes the system through which richer, developed countries offer loans to poorer, less developed countries. It explains some of the motives for offering these loans, as well as why they can benefit both lenders and borrowers. It looks at why loans may contribute to the problems of borrowing countries, and at why some people in the lending countries oppose this system. Quoting many first-hand accounts, it encourages readers to form their own views on current economic issues"--Back cover.
