AB  - Reports, following the UN’s 1996 ‘Human Development Report’, that the world’s poorest 1.6 billion people (one‐third of the world’s population) are growing poorer. Indicates two major lines of argument: first, that the more that resource distribution and development are left to market forces, the more resources will flow to the richer few; and, second, that it is totally impossible for Third World people to rise to the living standards typical of rich countries. Closes by investigating Ladakh — a region near Tibet — a place that is completely without modern technology, with a GNP of almost nothing which is a complex, culturally rich, and admirable society that has much to teach affluent societies about civility, humanity, community, social justice and ecological sustainability.
