Why read it?
1 author picked Your Money Or Your Life as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Barry recommends this book for Eric Toussaint's powerful analysis of the global financial system and its principal institutions (such as the IMF and World Bank) as a system of power relations maintaining the subordination and exploitation of the global south.
Barry found the exploration of possible solutions particularly valuable, ranging from various forms of resistance in poorer countries to the development of support and solidarity from social movements and struggles in rich countries.
Desirable policy changes are also discussed, especially debt cancellation in relation to the Third World Debt Crisis.
From Robin's list on development economics and ethics are intertwined.
