From the Back Cover

The post-1945 collapse of colonial rule, the global technological revolution, and the emergence of new nationalist governments seemed to promise third world peoples plenty for all. Four decades later, these promises shattered, growing numbers asked whether the nature of third-world governments lay at the root of the third world's continuing misery. This book proposes a theory that explains those shattered hopes by examining the relationships of the state and law to the inherited political, economic and social institutions that perpetuated poverty and oppression.
