The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good is a seminal 2006 book by former World Bank economist William Easterly that argues global foreign aid systems are fundamentally broken because they rely on top-down, centralized planning rather than local, market-driven feedback. Taking its title ironically from Rudyard Kipling’s 1899 imperialist poem, the book critiques the patronizing Western mindset that assumes wealthy nations know best how to solve the problems of the world's poor.
