The gap

The gap Author: Jason Hekel Book format: Paperback Language: Arabic Publisher: Wastam Publications Publication date: 2023 Number of pages: 418 The real reason behind the poverty of countries is that they have been integrated into the global economic system on unjust foundations. Aid is nothing but a cover for the plundering of 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 fifteenth century, and reaching the global system of religion, which allowed a handful of rich countries to control economic policies dictated to the rest of the world.
