The global development crisis / Benjamin Selwyn. - Cambridge, UK : Polity Press, 2014. - viii, 248 pages ; 23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This title challenges the assumption that a'free' global market will afford the same opportunities to both rich and poor states. Drawing on a number of 19th and 20th century thinkers, Ben Selwyn argues instead that class relations are the central cause of poverty and inequality, within and between countries.
