The Evolution of the International Economic Order

The book presents a thought-provoking analysis of the current international economic order, questioning whether wealthy industrial nations truly grasp the risks to their economic stability posed by demands for change. It also challenges the assumption held by developing countries that their progress relies on wealth transfers from richer nations. Sir W. Arthur Lewis delves into the origins of these economic dynamics, offering insights that provoke critical reflection on global economic relationships and the implications for both rich and developing nations.
