Third World Debt

Third World debt repayments reduce health and education spending, causing malnutrition and child poverty. This book examines the scale of Third World debt and its effect on the poor, arguing that rich industrial countries and banks are as responsible for the problem as the debtor countries. The authors analyze responses to the crisis so far and propose an attractive and more equitable solution.
