Product Description
Review
This is a truly refreshing and engaging book on neo-liberalism and its discontents in the global South. Written in a highly accessible style that should make it valuable as both a research and teaching companion, the he situates the problems of poverty and inequality within the broader framework of the restructuring of capital on a global scale. (Adebayo Olukoshi, Executive Secretary, CODESRIA )
This thoroughly researched book unveils the conceptual uses and abuses of 'poverty'; provides rich reports from Africa's most stressed regions; explores crucial sectors including land and food, labour and mineral resources; and points the way to more effective social and political resistance. Ray Bush breaks new ground in the way we think about class and other social struggles in Africa. (Patrick Bond, Director, University of KwaZulu-Natal Centre for Civil Society, Durban, South Africa )
Ray Bush explains eloquently and powerfully the persistence and deepening of poverty in Africa. ... He argues that widespread and uneven accumulation by dispossession is aided and abetted by western governments and international financial institutions, pursuing neo-liberal policies. (John Loxley, Professor of Economics and Research Co-ordinator, Global Political Economy Program, University of Manitoba, Canada )
A hard-headed and systematic critique of the way the goal of development has been replaced by hand-wringing about 'poverty' has been badly needed. Ray Bush's cogent and detailed analysis is one no student - and no 'anti-poverty' campaigner, however celebrated - will be able to ignore. (Colin Leys, Emeritus Professor at Queen's University, Kingston, Canada, and author of The Rise and Fall of Development Theory )
