The Recalcitrant Rich: A Comparative Analysis of the Northern Responses to the Demands for a New International Economic Order

The Recalcitrant Rich is a collection of sharp and fairly short sketches and explanations of the responses to developing-country demands by seven West European countries, the European Community, the United States of America and the U.S.S.R. It aims to analyse the responses of the North to the demands from the South for those political and economic changes that collectively constitute the ‘New International Economic Order' package.
