Zapping the Third World. The Disaster of Development Aid

Paperback. Aid has become our new imperialism. We have mountains of grain while the Third World starves. In our search for cheap hamburger meat we use deforestation and chemicals to destroy the Third World's ecology. We ruin its econimies by ramming our agribusiness machines and techniques down the throats of its farmers. The FAO and other aid institutions are the bureaucracies we build on the backs of the world's poor. This book sets out the case, gives concrete examples of our 'aid' schemes and is bitter in its criticism. However, it also describes ways in which the Third World can fight back. 242 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
