Explore 'The Struggle for Development' by Benjamin Selwyn, a compelling analysis that addresses the paradox of escalating global wealth amidst widespread poverty. This critical book challenges the conventional narratives of economic growth and poverty alleviation, revealing how capitalism often exacerbates inequity and environmental degradation. With insightful critiques of development theories—neoliberal, statist, and Marxist—Selwyn emphasizes the need to rethink our perceptions of poverty and wealth. He exposes the flaws in the World Bank's poverty measurement methods and highlights the adverse impacts of global supply chains on vulnerable populations, particularly impoverished female workers.

Delve into the transformative concept of labour-led development, which showcases how collective action among marginalized groups—like South African shack-dwellers, East Asian and Indian industrial workers, and Latin American landless labourers—can foster human development. This enlightening read is essential for anyone interested in social justice, economic theory, and the dynamics of capitalist development.

With 208 pages of thought-provoking content published by John Wiley & Sons in 2017, this brand new book is a must-have for students, academics, and activists alike.

Description:


The world economy is expanding rapidly despite chronic economic crises. Yet the majority of the world's population live in poverty. Why are wealth and poverty two sides of the coin of capitalist development? What can be done to overcome this destructive dynamic?



In this hard-hitting analysis Benjamin Selwyn shows how capitalism generates widespread poverty, gender discrimination and environmental destruction. He debunks the World Bank's dollar-a-day methodology for calculating poverty, arguing that the proliferation of global supply chains is based on the labour of impoverished women workers and environmental ruin. Development theories “ from neoliberal to statist and Marxist “ are revealed as justifying and promoting labouring class exploitation despite their pro-poor rhetoric. Selwyn also offers an alternative in the form of labour-led development, which shows how collective actions by labouring classes “ whether South African shack-dwellers and miners, East Asian and Indian Industrial workers, or Latin American landless labourers and unemployed workers “ can and do generate new forms of human development. This labour-led struggle for development can empower even the poorest nations to overcome many of the obstacles that block their way to more prosperous and equitable lives.

Tough ball. Perfect for large chewing breeds.
Color: 3 Colors
My German Shepherd Dog is a year and half old, and she loves these. They truly are pretty indestructible. It took her a little bit to figure out how to squeak it bc they are tough, but now it’s easy for her. They bounce well too. They are larger than a normal tennis ball but a good size for a large dog. Luna is 85 lbs. I would purchase they again, but I probably won’t need to for awhile.

Enjoyable For Our Dogs
Color: 3 Colors
Very durable material. They have a little squish too them for easy pick up for our 50 pound dogs. Our dogs love all balls. They have a little weight to them, but not excessive for a medium to large size dog. We have an English Springer Spaniel and a Goldendoodle. Fun for playtime, but you probably won’t want to throw them around the house.

A little too hard for our dog.
Color: 4 Colors
These are definitely durable balls. They are a harder than our dog prefers. He does play with them a little and enjoys squeaking them, but he doesn't like to play fetch with them and that is primarily the only thing he really enjoys doing with balls.
