Compare the claims of Bill Easterly and Dambisa Moyo versus Jeffery Sachs around the efficacy of development aid as outlined in Poor economics and the other readings. Whose arguments and evidence are more persuasive? Why?

It is crucial that this essay should contain strong arguments supported by development economics theories as it is an economics essay. Naturally, the essay should be mainly based on Bill Easterly, Dambisa Moyo and Jeffery Sachs contradicting research findings and of course on how this outlined in Poor economics by Banerjee and Duflo. Additional sources which should be included are the following:1. Banerjee and Duflo (2011). Poor economics. Ch. 1 and 2.2. Bhattacharyya, S., and R. Hodler (2010).
