This collection is a tour de force,
effectively countering not only the
neoliberal ideology of development as
a whole but the marginalizing within
today’s mainstream crisis discourse of
any discussion of the monstrous
misallocation of global resources
wrought by the so-called “Washington
Consensus” and the suffering and
destruction it has wreaked on third
world peoples and economies.

|
Stellar international contributors
address the devastating impact of
neo-liberalism on key Third World
countries (China, Brazil, India, Cuba,
South Korea, Venezuela, Mexico and
South Africa, Thailand, Syria and Egypt)
and the different developmental
strategies they adopted to confront it.
"Anyone concerned with understanding
combined and uneven development in
the global economy today would profit
immensely from reading this superb
collection."

This book exposes the roots of the crisis
in the unsustainability of the United
States' military-driven empirebuilding
based on a volatile speculative economy,
and influenced by Zionist policy makers
committed to the colonialist state of
Israel.
