| Summary |
Development may be best understood in terms of the fluid and variable interplay between capital accumulation, the state and class. Subject to globalizing structures, classes, in turn, are examined in their interactions with culture, especially gender and religion as well as ecology. Case-studies - Brazil, the Asian newly industrializing countries. China and Mozambique - reveal three possibilities for overcoming underdevelopment: joining, leaving, or weaving through global capitalism. |
