In this podcast we are thrilled to be talking to Dr Greg Mills who heads the Johannesburg-based Brenthurst Foundation. The Foundation was established in 2005 by the Oppenheimer family to strengthen African economic performance.
Mills holds degrees from the Universities of Cape Town (BA Hons) and Lancaster (MA cum laude, and PhD), and was first, the director of Studies and then the national director of the SA Institute of International affairs from 1994-2005. His latest book, Expensive Poverty, was launched this year at the JHGC and details the failings of aid to Africa, and suggests several ways to improve development outcomes. Expensive Poverty is a no-holds barred account of why trillions of dollars have failed to move the needle when it comes to human development, based on decades of research and experience on the ground from Afghanistan to all corners of Africa.
