Summary, etc. The poor make up an ever larger proportion of the world's population; in recent years their plight has not improved for many it has worsened-as most Third World countries are wracked by crippling debt burdens and contractionary economic policies. In this totally revised edition of Worlds Apart, Peter Donaldson, the well-known broadcaster and author of 10 X Economics and A Question of Economics, shows how the tragic 'development gap' arose and how all the underlying problemshave not changed. He looks at trade and aid (perhaps not such a good thing), distorted markets and international finance, cartels, agriculture and neo-colonialism. Recent years have seen two Brandt Reports and the rise of OPEC and a handful of Newly Industrialized Countries, but there is only one small reason for optimism: 'a growing feeling among people in the richer nations that something should be done'. To act on such a feeling in a way which actually promotes development, we need to know the facts; they are presented clearly and concisely in this major book.<br/>
