In The Poverty Trap: How Politicians Use Aid for Votes, William Ubagan explores the dark side of political manipulation in aid distribution—unveiling how aid programs, intended to alleviate poverty and foster development, are often distorted to serve the personal and electoral ambitions of politicians. Through in-depth analysis, historical examples, and contemporary case studies, this book delves into the detrimental effects of aid dependency and highlights the need for reforms that prioritize empowerment, transparency, and sustainable growth. Offering a thought-provoking perspective, Ubagan challenges readers to rethink the relationship between aid and power, advocating for a future where aid truly serves its purpose of uplifting communities and fostering lasting change.
