Description

Stavrianos takes a historical perspective on the term "Third World" to see how it has changed from its inception as a term describing those nations who would not align with either Capitalism or Socialism after WWII to the lowly economic conditions of nearly three fourths of the world at the turn of the century. Through his historical perspective one can see how the economy and politics of the third world has grown and developed over history.
