A very enjoyable read. It takes the view that all leaders main aim is to remain leaders and sees if their behaviour can be derived from this rather than thinking different societies have different ideologies they are trying to implement - and why often things in dictatorships are so 'orrible and development remains so low.
Hardly uplifting... but at least it does provide an argument that both debt relief and international aid although often well intentioned are counter-productive.
