Debt and Development
Stuart Corbridge
Debt and Development is a summary of the latest development across the entire field of geograpy. This book's main aim is to show the student how to read the debt crisis, in terms of stastistical sources which are available to trace it's progress. This book offers an exciting new approach to the study of the international debt crisis of the 1980s and 1990s, and its economic and geo-political consquences.
Part one is about the debt crisis in 'fact' and aims to provide the 'standard narrative' of the debt crisis from the OPEC oil price rises onwards, ending with the most recent attempts at crisis management. Part is about ideas and the way in which the debt crisis is theorized and produced in discourse, moving into the direction of discourse analysis. Here Stuart Corbridge demonstrates how the debt crisis might be interpreted from three different perspectives: a free market 'system-stability' approach; a Keynesian 'system-correction' approach; and a Marxian 'system-instability' approach.
To conclude the authour briefly considers how these competing perspectives on debt and development might be judged. This book will be welcomed by students and teachers of geography , development studies, economics, international realations and political science.
