First published in 1999, this volume, the first to be published in
on Jubilee 2000, describes the plight of 52 of the poorest nations
in the world and puts in detail the case for radical cancellation
of past inert debt. The cost and benefit of this remission and the
groundbreaking concordat of peoples and governments that could
accompany it are examined in detail. It contains critiques of the
economic bases of the World Bank and IMF approaches to debt
management in developing economies, as manifested in structural
adjustment programmes and their maintenance, misuse of excess
reserves and the methods used to carry out restructuring and
development projects. The British anti-slavery campaign saw a
mobilisation of public opinion for a great cause. Using this as a
source of inspiration, public opinion must again be mobilised for
what amounts to the greatest opportunity for justice, compassion
and forgiveness facing us all at the beginning of a new millennium.
