The Economic North–South Divide

Six Decades of Unequal Development

Kunibert Raffer, formerly Professor, Department of Economics, University of Vienna, Austria and the late H.W. Singer, formerly Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, UK

The Economic North–South Divide explores the structural roots of the debt crisis and considers the impact of debt management on North–South economic relations, exposing certain double standards that tilt global markets further against the South. Encouraged by recent successful opposition to neoliberalism, the authors finally propose ideas for a world where people seem to matter.

‘This is a distinguished book written by two distinguished analysts of, and commentators on, the outcomes and processes that have dominated the evolution of the global economic order over the last sixty years.’

‘What Raffer and Singer chose to do, they have done very well indeed.’
