What is currently happening in the field of development? Is the Third World really developing? These are critical questions which need immediate explanations and answers. We all know that things are far from being satisfactory, but there is considerable doubt and confusion as to what precisely is wrong and what ought to be done?
This book presents an overview and interpretation of the current development situation. Its main concern is to suggest a perspective which enables us to evaluate the existing development scene.
The author outlines ways in which the Third World can ‘actually' develop. The book strongly proposes a strong sense of responsibility amongst the ‘First World’ countries to those who are less privileged. The author establishes some facts such as "Global justice must precede global peace; the rich must move over" and "The Third World living standards can only improve if the First World consumes less".
The book gives a devastating yet constructive critique of what today's economists and politicians say and think about development and how certain viable solutions can be implemented.
