Abstract
The chapter presents how the authors’ different experiences with research and consultancies have made them develop the view on Western aid presented in the book. One social anthropologist and one macroeconomist, they used to see each other as representing opposing views on development. Over time, they have found that they were both part of an aid apparatus that shares a view of development, where Western leadership is taken for granted.
