What do we gain and lose by endorsing a system of wealth creation? Do even "savage cultures" contain values critiques and ways of life that the West still needs? Opening the way for radically different policies addressing poverty and demanding a rethink of the connections between political economy and international relations this thought - provoking book is vital reading for students and scholars of politics economics IPE and international relations.
