The Shocking Truth about...

Zoey Fraisers

International aid has long been heralded as a solution to the world’s most pressing problems, from poverty and hunger to disease and disaster recovery. It is a system built on the idea that wealthier nations and organizations have the responsibility to assist those in need, providing the necessary resources to help vulnerable populations rise above their circumstances. With trillions of dollars allocated to aid efforts across the globe, it would seem that international aid is fulfilling its mission to promote global well-being. However, a closer examination reveals a far more complex, and often disheartening, reality.
While aid is essential in times of crisis, its long-term effects are often overlooked. Far too frequently, the aid process is tainted by inefficiencies, corruption, and political agendas, which hinder its effectiveness and frequently exacerbate the problems it seeks to solve. Donor countries may provide aid with specific political or economic interests in mind, making the assistance less about altruism and more about advancing a nation's own objectives. Likewise, organizations tasked with distributing aid can become bogged down by bureaucratic red tape, mismanagement, and a lack of accountability, leading to resources being squandered or diverted from the people who need them most.
The impact of international aid is not always as straightforward as it appears. While some projects undoubtedly achieve their goals, many others fail to deliver lasting results, leaving behind a trail of dependency rather than empowerment. Aid can often unintentionally disrupt local economies and social structures, creating reliance on external support rather than fostering self-sufficiency. In some cases, aid even perpetuates cycles of poverty by undermining local industries or creating a mindset of dependency that stifles innovation and growth.

John Stuart Mill - A Very Short...

Gregory Claeys

John Stuart Mill (1806-73) is widely regarded as the leading liberal philosopher, economist, and political theorist of nineteenth century Britain. In his lifetime he was best known for his System of Logic (1843) and the Principles of Political Economy (1848). Today Mill is chiefly identified with On Liberty (1859), perhaps the definitive text of modern liberal statement of its subject, and probably the single most important work of modern political thought. Mill was also the first major male feminist thinker of the period (author of The Subjection of Women, 1869), and the first, as an MP, to introduce a bill for female enfranchisement before Parliament. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction offers a brief survey of the life and key ideas of this most influential Victorian British writer. Moving chronologically, Gregory Claeys outlines the philosophical background out of which Mill developed, chiefly through the ideas of Jeremy Bentham and James Mill. He demonstrates how Mill's personal life, especially his 'mental crisis' of 1827, and his relationship with Harriet Taylor, were integral to his intellectual development. Throughout Claeys considers Mill's key works set within the context of his lesser writings and correspondence, and discusses the more controversial aspects of his thought concerning religion, secularism, and birth control.

Dying Green - A Journey through...

Christine Vatovec

The slow violence being inflicted on our environment—through everything from carbon emissions to plastic pollution—also represents an impending public health catastrophe. Yet standard health care practices are more concerned with short-term outcomes than long-term sustainability. Every resource used to deliver medical care, from IV tubes to antibiotics to electricity, has a significant environmental impact. This raises an urgent ethical dilemma: in striving to improve the health outcomes of individual patients, are we damaging human health on a global scale? 
 
 
  
In Dying Green, award-winning educator Christine Vatovec offers an engaging study that asks us to consider the broader environmental sustainability of health care. Through a comparative analysis of the care provided to terminally ill patients in a conventional cancer ward, a palliative care unit, and an acute-care hospice facility, she shows how decisions made at a patient's bedside govern the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry. Likewise, Dying Green offers insights on the many opportunities that exist for reducing the ecological impacts of medical practices in general, while also enhancing care for the dying in particular. By envisioning a more sustainable approach to care, this book offers a way forward that is better for both patients and the planet.
