The Global Struggle for More: Third World Conflicts with the Rich Nations

Library Journal

The poorer countries have long been receiving aid from the developed world and, with few exceptions, are no better off now than they were decades ago. This book explains why, with clarity and concision, putting into focus the whole question of North-South relations. Third World debt, poor countries' demands for a new economic order, external aid, and trade between the developed and underdeveloped nations are all discussed. Nossiter, a former foreign correspondent for the Washington Post and U.N. bureau chief for the New York Times, brings a freedom from rancor and partisanship rare in this debate. In fact, readers may even conclude that this is a problem with a solution. Ian Wallace, Agriculture Canada Lib., Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec
