Description: "In Poverty from the Wealth of Nations, M. Shahid Alam presents an analysis of the evolution of global disparities that goes beyond earlier neo-Marxist critiques, both in its conception and the marshalling of evidence. He moves beyond their narrative by inserting two additional asymmetries into the global economy - those created by 'unequal races' and 'unequal states'."--BOOK JACKET.
