A national bestseller, Dead Aid unflinchingly confronts one of the greatest myths of our time: that billions of dollars in aid sent from wealthy countries to developing African nations has helped to reduce poverty and increase growth. In fact, poverty levels continue to escalate and growth rates have steadily declined--and millions continue to suffer. Debunking the current model of international aid promoted by both Hollywood celebrities and policy makers, Dambisa Moyo offers a bold new road map for financing development of the world's poorest countries.

Much debated in the United States and the United Kingdom on publication, Dead Aid is an unsettling yet optimistic work, a powerful challenge to the assumptions and arguments that support a profoundly misguided development policy in Africa. And it is a clarion call to a new, more hopeful vision of how to address the desperate poverty that plagues millions.

Nice Watch
Color: 5885 Siver Stainless Steel/hon Dial, Color: 5885 Siver Stainless Steel/hon Dial
Nice watch for the money. I've only had it a week but seems to be keeping good time. From 20 feet away might be mistaken for "Trump Time". The watch design is actually a copy of the Rolex Submariner for a whole lot less money. Several watch companies have copied the Submariner. I removed one link at a time when resizing the band. By the time I got to the final link, the supplied tool wasn't working. I had to remove the final link with a hacksaw and pliers.

DIDN'T LAST LONG
Color: 5885 Gold Stainless Steel/Gold Dial
Bought this in June 2025, and only wore it a few times. Recently noticed the time was "off" and the seconds-hand wasn't moving. I thought it sat too long and needed to be wound up. So, I wound...and wound...and wound. Never met any resistance in the crown during clock-wise winding...just continued to spin freely, and the seconds-hand never moved. It's a pretty-looking time piece, but don't waste your money if you expect it to keep time. 👎

Great watch, terrible resizing tool.
Color: 2926 Silver Stainless Steel/Black Dial
Watch is great, feel heavy, looks beautiful in person. It shines pretty heavily. My main issue is with the resizing tool it comes with. It broke when I tried to use it. Be prepared to buy your own like I did. I can’t say how the fit is yet because I can’t wear it yet. It is not easy to set up.

Stunning Automatic Watch With TopTier Durability and Precision
Color: Grey
“I got this Tissot PRX for my cousin’s birthday and bro fell in LOVE instantly. This thing keeps time like a beast, never slows down, never lags. Automatic movement, so no batteries, no drama. Durability? Stupid good. You can hit it, bump it, live life rough, it still looks box fresh. Size wise it was almost perfect. I just had to remove two links, nothing big. It’s light, functional, comfortable, doesn’t weigh you down, doesn’t get in the way but more importantly I can say this watch is in everyone’s eyesight when we wear it. Cause of course I had to get another one! Basically. I gave him a very nice piece as a gift, and now he’s walking around like he owns Switzerland.
