Poverty from the Wealth of Nations: Integration and Polarization in the Global Economy Since 1760 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780333779316)

In Poverty from the Wealth of Nations, the author presents an analysis of the evolution of global disparities that goes beyond the earlier neo-Marxist critiques of global capitalism. He moves beyond their narrative by inserting two additional asymmetries into the global economy - those created by 'unequal races' and unequal states. The author analyzes not only the power of markets, but the powers that shaped these markets. More importantly, he marshals cross-country evidence to show that loss of sovereignty retarded industrialization, human capital formation and economic growth.
