'The Global Development Crisis' (Polity: 2014) addresses the central paradox of our times - the simultaneous presence of wealth on an unprecedented scale, and mass poverty. It explores this paradox through an interrogation of the work of some of the most important political economists of the last two centuries - Friedrich List, Karl Marx, Leon Trotsky, Joseph Schumpeter, Alexander Gerschenkron, Karl Polanyi and Amartya Sen.
The Struggle for Development, critiques the World Bank's dollar-a-day poverty methodology and shows how capitalism generates various new forms of poverty. Beyond critique the book also introduces and gives numerous examples of labour-led development, and argues for a post-capitalist development strategy.
