Originally published in 1991. The post-war period witnessed massive
changes in the nature and operation of the world economy. This
"Atlas" examines those changes under the headings of population,
agriculture, energy, industry, national income, transport, trade,
labour and multinationals. Not an atlas in the conventional sense
of the term, this work is a heavily illustrated combination of
diagram and description. Its approach is broad and consists of a
sequence of self-contained modules which can be read independently
or as part of a wider whole. One of the most prominent themes to
emerge is the enormous force and influence of the capitalist
economic system based in the West; a host of economic indicators
demonstrates vividly the remarkable producing and consuming power
of the capitalist world. Many parts of the developing world are
tied in to the web of capitalist relations, but many fail to
benefit adequately, as the statistics on food supply and national
income demonstrate.
