The North American downtown is in trouble. In cities across the continent, downtowns that once functioned as historically important centres of civic and public life have faltered, declined, and been abandoned as retail businesses move to shopping centres, families move to suburbia, and industries move to major highways that connect our towns and cities. Nowhere is the decline of the downtown more evident than in smaller cities.

And yet accompanying the call for more foreign aid is an almost universal discontent with the effectiveness of the existing aid system. In Reinventing Foreign Aid, development expert William Easterly has gathered top scholars in the field to discuss how to improve foreign aid. These authors, Easterly points out, are not claiming that their ideas will (to invoke a current slogan) Make Poverty Hist
