In From Aid to Trade, Daniel presents the pioneering concept of opportunity-based economic development ( OBED).

OBED is the idea that both assets and liabilities can be transformed into market opportunities to meet demand profitably. Laying bare the vast opportunity cost of decades of failed aid initiatives, From Aid to Trade explains how NGOs in Haiti can partner with local entrepreneurs to meet the vast demand and contribute to a sustainable economy. The people of the developing world just need the opportunity to meet their own needs.
