________________ 'There's no understanding global inequality
without understanding its history. In The Divide, Jason Hickel
brilliantly lays it out, layer upon layer, until you are left
reeling with the outrage of it all.' - Kate Raworth, author of
Doughnut Economics * The richest eight people control more wealth
than the poorest half of the world combined. * Today, 60 per cent
of the world's population lives on less than $5 a day. * Though
global real GDP has nearly tripled since 1980, 1.1 billion more
people are now living in poverty. For decades we have been told a
story: that development is working, that poverty is a natural
phenomenon and will be eradicated through aid by 2030. But just
because it is a comforting tale doesn't make it true. Poor
countries are poor because they are integrated into the global
economic system on unequal terms, and aid only helps to hide this.
Drawing on pioneering research and years of first-hand experience,
The Divide tracks the evolution of global inequality - from the
expeditions of Christopher Columbus to the present day - offering
revelatory answers to some of humanity's greatest problems. It is a
provocative, urgent and ultimately uplifting account of how the
world works, and how it can change for the better.
