Liberal theory explains the relationship between capitalism and poverty as one based around the dichotomy of inclusion (into capitalism) vs exclusion (from capitalism).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Despite the rise of unprecedented inequalities in the global economy, the  neoliberal assertion that the 'free market' is an unalloyed source of economic opportunity for all countries retains enormous power and influence.  For the poor nations, it is market exclusion that is taken to be the central development problem.  Selwyn takes these sorts of neoliberal nostrums head on, arguing that understanding patterns of immense wealth and mass poverty requires a deep and sustained theoretical and empirical scrutiny of capitalist processes of development. \u003ci\u003eThe Global Development Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e provides a masterful analysis of key development thinkers who provide the framework for a 'labour-centred development'.\"  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMichael Watts, University of California, Berkeley\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Selwyn's \u003ci\u003eThe Global Development Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e advances critical debate about the goals of social change and how they might be achieved. Selwyn's critical engagement with influential ideas makes this a fecund text for students, faculty and activists. By bringing class relations back to the centre of development discourse, and outlining how a labour-centred development might emerge, Selwyn is doing great service to the goals of equality and human development.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBen Crow, University of California, Santa Cruz\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFigures and Tables page vi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgements vii\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Global Development Crisis 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Friedrich List and the Foundations of Statist Political Economy 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Karl Marx, Class Struggle and Social Development 53\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Trotsky, Gerschenkron and the Clash of Marxism and Statist Political Economy 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Creative Destruction and Global Inequality: From Marx to Schumpeter, and Back 104\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Class Struggle or Embedded Markets?
