Jason Hickel: The divide (Hardcover, 2017, William Heinemann)
(0 reviews)
"For decades we have been told a story: that poverty is a natural phenomenon and will be eradicated through aid. It is a comforting tale, but it ignores the broader political forces at play. Poor countries are poor because they are integrated into the global economic system on unequal terms, and aid only helps to hide this. The Divide tracks the evolution of global inequality – from the expeditions of Christopher Columbus to the present day – offering a provocative, urgent and ultimately uplifting account of how the world works, and how we can change it for the better."
