In this article Mobiot makes a pretty convincing case that the latest third world debt reduction plan is pretty crap really.
This point made by CADTM here is fairly interesting:
"The financial burden of the operation on rich countries would amount to some 2 billion dollars a year, compared to 350 billion the G8 devote to farming subsidies or 700 billion they spend in military expenditure. Rich countries would thus be willing to spend every year for the announced cancellation half of the amount the US spend every month on their continued occupation of Iraq. Moreover, the US would finance their contribution through their meagre aid for development budget, so they would not even have to find any additional resources. "
Can anyone recommend any recent good books on global political economy?
Preferably not authored by someone with a neoliberal agenda.
