β¦ Synopsis
βTIES THAT BIND: Canada and the Third World is a primer in the politics and economics of unequal development. It describes a world system that produces inequality and poverty by design rather than by accident, a system in which Canada plays an integral part.
The book's five essays cover subjects central to an understanding of the predicament of Third World countries. The first analyzes the kind of information Canadians get about the Third World - and the misconceptions that arise, such as the dominant βtyrant and victimβ image of underdevelopment. Others deal with the lopsided economy of North-South ties; the quixotic roles of transnational corporations; the failures of foreign aid; the spreading disease of militarism.β
