Dear John,

For decades, American taxpayers have been sold the idea that foreign aid promotes peace and prosperity. Yet, the reality tells a different story: many billions upon billions wasted, entrenched poverty, and corrupt governments empowered by blank checks from Washington. It needs to stop, not because poverty alleviation doesn't matter, but because it does. The time has come for a new approach.

I invite you to an exclusive webinar, Freedom Worldwide: Global Prosperity Without "Foreign Aid," where I’ll be joined by renowned development economist and former World Bank lead economist, Professor William Easterly. As the author of The Tyranny of Experts, and many other works he's one of the most outspoken and effective critics of top-down foreign aid. Bill's a leading voice for freedom-based development and an outstanding communicator. Together, we’ll examine how the traditional foreign aid model has failed and what’s rising to take its place.

Register Now: Thursday, April 3, 2025 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time

What's we’ll cover:

  • Why government-led aid programs like USAID consistently fail
  • The "Outsider’s Dilemma"—when well-meaning interventions undermine local freedom
  • How top-down aid schemes enable authoritarianism and dependence
  • More effective, taxpayer-respecting strategies that empower local communities

Thanks again for your continued support and interest. I hope you can join us for this important discussion.

In Liberty,

Dr. Tom G. Palmer
Executive vice president for international programs
