Deeper than Debt
Economic globalisation and the poor
An introduction to the history and current implications of the debt crisis, which positions debt in the wider context of globalisation and development. Deeper than Debt brings together a wide range of viewpoints to discuss the effects of economic globalisation on the lives of the poor majority in debtor countries. This primer text argues that, due to debt, four fifths of the world’s population cannot develop while inequality between the rich and the poor grows. This book provides invaluable analysis for activists who have campaigned successfully with Jubilee 2000 and other campaigns, and for those wanting a deeper look at development and economic issues raised by international debt.
