1
Foreign aid is not the solution to poverty in Africa.
2
It's one of the reasons why Africa is poor.
3
Yes, you heard that right.
4
For years, we've been sold the idea that aid from organizations like USAID helps lift Africa out of its poverty.
5
But here's the truth.
6
If foreign aid worked, Africa would be the richest continent on Earth by now.
7
Free market advocate and former U .S.
8
Congressman Ron Paul described it perfectly.
9
Foreign aid is taking money from the poor people of a rich country
10
and giving it to the rich people of a poor country.
11
Walk through the streets of Dakar, Senegal, where I'm from, and you'll see exactly where your aid money goes.
12
The city is filled with foreign residents working for the UN, non -governmental organizations, NGOs, and embassies.
13
They live in a parallel economy, one that most Senegalese can only observe from the outside.
14
These aid workers enjoy lives of luxury, fine dining at expensive restaurants, driving new SUVs, occupying the best apartments in town,
15
employing multiple household staff and hosting lavish parties.
16
And by the way, they receive hardship pay for the sacrifice of living in faraway places filled with malaria, tropical diseases and tough climates.
17
This creates a devastating ripple effect throughout our local economy.
18
These organizations, flush with seemingly unlimited cash, inflate the cost of everything, from housing to basic services.
19
A local business owner like me has to compete with these inflated prices while running a real business with real constraints.
20
But the damage goes deeper than just raising the cost of living.
21
These organizations also poach our best and brightest talents with salaries that no local business can match.
22
Instead of building new enterprises, innovating solutions or creating economic value,
23
our most capable people are diverted into bureaucratic jobs pushing papers and writing reports nobody will ever read.
24
I've seen brilliant minds reduced to professional workshop attendees, moving from one donor -funded meeting to another, producing nothing of lasting value.
25
When I travel across Africa, I don't see sustainable prosperity created by aid programs.
26
Instead, I see the destruction of local markets and the creation of dependency cycles.
27
Consider what happens in our villages.
28
When free mosquito nets arrive, local merchants who sell them go bankrupt.
29
The same thing happens with shoes.
30
Donated shoes flood local markets, making it impossible for local shoe manufacturers to compete.
31
And the desperately needed food aid?
32
Much of that gets hijacked by corrupt government officials and sold at below market prices.
33
African farmers can't compete against this free food.
34
So they stop farming and move into the already crowded cities.
35
Local food producing ecosystems are destroyed, which only worsens the hunger problem.
36
These are the real costs of humanitarian aid.
37
To be clear, I'm not speaking about aid in response to an emergency like a natural disaster.
38
But these disasters are rare.
39
Development aid is an ever -flowing river of money and goods, and it's destroying a continent.
40
Like all government -sponsored efforts, this is as true within the U .S and Europe as it is in Africa.
41
There is no accountability for the money spent.
42
The budgets of these aid organizations make no sense in any real -world context.
43
They measure success by money spent and goods distributed, not by actual economic development or the creation of profitable businesses.
44
Even more frustrating is how this system creates a culture of dependency that diminishes Africans' dignity.
45
The narrative becomes one of Africa needing constant help rather than Africa needing fair opportunities to compete and grow.
46
When you think of Africa, what comes to your mind?
47
Dynamic entrepreneurs or stabbing children?
48
I thought so.
49
I recently approached the head of a San Francisco venture fund
50
looking for investment in a business I wanted to start in Africa.
51
He didn't want to give me capital.
52
He wanted to give me charity.
53
Can we dig wells?
54
He asked.
55
They need fresh water, right?
56
That's what got him excited.
57
Condescension cloaked in do -goodism.
58
That's the typical Western attitude toward Africa foreign aid indeed creates jobs
59
and careers just not for the people it's supposed to help every successful economy in history has developed through entrepreneurship
60
and trade not through handouts no matter how well intentioned the
61
sooner we stop treating foreign aid as a sacred cow the
62
sooner we can start focusing on what actually works economic freedom and policies that empower people to build their own futures.
63
The first step towards the prosperous Africa is to eliminate what's poisoning it.
64
This toxic aid that has created a parallel economy most Africans are locked out of
65
and diverted our resources away from productive activities.
66
Only then can we build the Africa we know is possible, where ambition is rewarded, dignity is preserved,
67
and prosperity is created for our own efforts rather than the misguided kindness of strangers.
68
Africa doesn't need more foreign aid.
69
It needs more freedom.
70
I'm Magat Wade, author of The Heart of a Cheetah,
71
how we've been lied to about African poverty and what that means for human flourishing for Prager University.

この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

文型動画での表現
受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てるwe've been sold · is filled · are diverted
現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係しているwe've been sold · I've seen · has developed

注意したい発音

話し手はI'm, we've, can'tなど、短縮形や弱形を11回使っています。聞こえたとおりの短い形で発音しましょう。

  • 「sh」と「zh」の音: diminish /dɪˈmɪnɪʃ/, lavish /ˈlævɪʃ/, flourish /ˈflʊ̈ɹ.ɪʃ/, hardship /ˈhɑɹdˌʃɪp/, entrepreneurship /ˌɑn.tɹə.pɹəˈnɝ.ʃɪp/
  • 長い単語（アクセントの位置に注意）: dependency /dɪˈpɛndənsi/, prosperity /pɹɑˈspɛɹ.ɪ.ti/, bureaucratic /ˌbjʊəɹəˈkɹætɪk/, deductible [dɪˈdʌktəbəɫ], entrepreneurship /ˌɑn.tɹə.pɹəˈnɝ.ʃɪp/

日本語話者が苦手な音：

  • /r/ と /l/ の区別 — /l/ は舌先を歯茎につけ、/r/ はどこにもつけない: ripple /ˈɹɪp(ə)l/, flourish /ˈflʊ̈ɹ.ɪʃ/, malaria /məˈlɛəɹi.ə/, desperately /ˈdɛs.p(ə.)ɹət.li/, profitable /ˈpɹɑ.fɪ.tə.bl̩/
  • /v/ — /b/ にならないように、上の歯を下唇に当てる: divert /daɪˈvɝt/, devastate /ˈdɛv.ə.steɪt/, innovate /ˈɪn.ə.veɪt/, lavish /ˈlævɪʃ/, governmental /ˌɡʌvɚnˈmɛnt(ə)l/
  • /f/ — 「フ」ではなく、上の歯と下唇で出す: inflate /ɪnˈfleɪt/, faraway /ˈfɑɹəweɪ/, frustrate /ˈfɹʌsˌtɹeɪt/, flourish /ˈflʊ̈ɹ.ɪʃ/, flush /ˈflʌʃ/

この動画での練習方法

  1. まず声を出さずに動画を最後まで聞き、知らない単語をメモします。
  2. まず0.75倍速で一文ずつシャドーイングし、慣れてきたら通常の速度に戻します。
  3. 自分の声を録音して元の音声と比べます。inflate, dependency, prosperityなどの単語に特に注意しましょう。

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
