"In his previous book, The Pillage of the Third World, Pierre Jalee began the study of the economic relations between the countries of the so-called Third World and the advanced capitalist nations, taking each of these groups as a single entity. The present book pushed this original research still further, bringing together more advanced and fuller documentary and statistical materials. In this book, Jalee does more complete justice to hsi title by comparing Third Word with the socialist countries as well as with the advanced capitalist states. He continues the investigation of his chief thesis on the subject: that is, the persistence of economic exploitation of the Third World despite the granting or winning of varius forms of political independence. Neo-colonialism, in a word, is the subject of the work: colonialism operating entirely through economic relations instead of, as before, through economic relations accompanied by political domination." - from dust jacket
