Foreign aid explained in 101 seconds | 101 in 101

Edward Miguel, the son of immigrants from Uruguay and Poland, knew from an early age that his life in the US was different from those of his family members around the world.  “I got a chance to see how my relatives lived, in South America and Eastern Europe,” recalls Miguel. “They were a lot poorer than us here in the US and that made me wonder why and what could be done about it.” Miguel, director of the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) and a professor of Economics at UC Berkeley, has made it his work to figure out how to improve the lives of some of the poorest people on earth.  As he explains in this 101 in 101 video, a series from UC Berkeley that challenges campus experts to distill their work into a mere 101 seconds, foreign aid often benefits the poorest, but it can also protect wealthier countries.
