Dear John,

Thank you for your interest in our recent Freedom Worldwide webinar, “Global Prosperity Without 'Foreign Aid." Whether you joined us live or couldn’t make it, I deeply appreciate your engagement with this important topic.

During the webinar, we examined how decades of government-led foreign aid have failed to alleviate poverty and instead entrenched corruption, authoritarianism, and economic dependence. While well-intentioned, those programs often undermine local freedom and economic growth.

It was a privilege to lead this conversation alongside Professor William Easterly, a renowned development economist. Together, we explored why foreign aid programs consistently fail, how they enable authoritarian regimes, and what effective, market-driven alternatives can drive real prosperity.

For those who missed the live webinar or would like to revisit the discussion, I’m pleased to provide the recording below:

Thank you again for your continued support and interest. We look forward to having you join us in our future events as we explore the pathways to freedom and human progress across the globe.
