Today 4.3 billion people, almost 60 per cent of the world's population, live on less than $5 per day. Poor countries are poor because they are integrated into the global economic system on unequal terms. This book tracks the evolution of the system, from the first expedition of Christopher Columbus in 1492 to the international debt regime.
