The real reason behind the poverty of countries is that they were integrated into the global economic system on unjust foundations. Aid is nothing but a cover for plundering resources that led to poverty and the absence of justice in the first place. We see with our own eyes dirty trade deals, tax evasion, land grabs, and the costs associated with climate change. In this regard, this book explores the development of this system, starting from Christopher Columbus's voyages in the late 15th century, and reaching the global debt system, which allowed a handful of rich countries to control economic policies dictated to the rest of the world.
