<p><b>________________</b><br><b><br>''There''s no understanding global inequality without understanding its history. In <i>The Divide</i>, Jason Hickel brilliantly lays it out, layer upon layer, until you are left reeling with the outrage of it all.'' - </b>Kate Raworth, author of <i>Doughnut Economics</i><br><br><b>¿ </b><b>The richest eight people control more wealth than the poorest half of the world combined.</b><br><b>¿ </b><b>Today, 60 per cent of the world''s population lives on less than $5 a day.</b><br><b>¿ </b><b>Though global real GDP has nearly tripled since 1980, 1.1 billion more people are now living in poverty.<br></b><br>For decades we have been told a story: that development is working, that poverty is a natural phenomenon and will be eradicated through aid by 2030. But just because it is a comforting tale doesn''t make it true. Poor countries are poor because they are integrated into the global economic system on unequal terms, and aid only helps to hide this. <br><
