520			_aA POVERTY CURTAIN HAS DESCENDED RIGHT ACROSS THE face of our world, dividing it materially and philosophically into two different worlds, two separate planets, two unequal humanities-one embarrassingly rich and the other desperately poor. This invisible barrier exists within nations as well as be tween them, and it often provides a unity of thought and purpose to the Third World countries which otherwise have their own economic, political and cultural differences. The struggle to lift this curtain of poverty is certainly the most formidable challenge of our time. This book is about this struggle. Most of the required changes lie right within the control of the Third World whether in the restructuring of domestic political power, or in the fashioning of new development styles and strategies, or in the search for new areas of collective self-reliance. A part of the struggle is at the international level to change the past pat terns of hopeless dependency to new concepts of equality, partnership and interdependence.
