Summary: "I have here chosen to focus attention on one particular aspect of the international situation, namely, the very large and steadily increasing economic inequalities between developed and underdeveloped countries. Though these inequalities and their tendency to grow are flagrant realities, and though they form a basic cause of the international tension in our present world, they are usually not treated as a central problem in the literature on underdevelopment and development." -- From the preface.
