This sure seems like a pleasant thing for us wealthy folk to believe: by not giving aid to Africa, we're more virtuous than those who act out of pity.

There's a career to be made out of promoting such ideas.

I'll hope (without reading) that what's being promoted merely that aid should be given more rationally.
