Is Capitalism Right for the Third World?

William Ryrie

Chapter 6 in First World, Third World, 1999, pp 108-131 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The very word ‘capitalism’ offends many people to whom it suggests a jungle-world of unfettered market forces, driven by greed, in which the rich become richer and the poor are neglected or exploited. Can this be the ‘development’ we want for poor countries?
