We are bombarded with images of poverty, terrorism, war & collapsing states. Do we ever question what the root cause of these problems might be? Noreena Hertz, one of the world's leading experts on economic globalization, tackles Third World Debt as a problem which must be resolved if we are ever to see global stability. For every USD1 the west gives to developing countries in aid, developing countries pay the west USD9 in debt service. At the beginning of the new millennium we are witnessing a global debt crisis of unprecedented size. Sub-Saharan Africa owes USD200 billion, Brazil USD223.8 billion, Argentina USD155 billion. Why does this matter? In this shocking, ground-breaking book, Noreena Hertz shows that these numbers matter because they account for millions of people dying of AIDS; for the rainforests being cut down; for poverty, illiteracy, terrorism & war. These numbers matter because they will affect all of our lives if the balance is not redressed.IOU is a story of avarice but also of vulnerability; of power asymmetries & misuse of power; of corrupt dictators & careless lenders; of Cold War interests & Wall Street pressure; of third world governments who get given it, & third world people who have no access to it. Noreena Hertz, one of the world's leading experts on economic globalisation, argues that this is not an issue of left or right: it is an issue of right versus wrong; of peace versus war. It must be addressed now. ...
