Explore 'The Struggle for Development' by Benjamin Selwyn, a compelling analysis that addresses the paradox of escalating global wealth amidst widespread poverty. This critical book challenges the conventional narratives of economic growth and poverty alleviation, revealing how capitalism often exacerbates inequity and environmental degradation. With insightful critiques of development theories—neoliberal, statist, and Marxist—Selwyn emphasizes the need to rethink our perceptions of poverty and wealth. He exposes the flaws in the World Bank's poverty measurement methods and highlights the adverse impacts of global supply chains on vulnerable populations, particularly impoverished female workers.Delve into the transformative concept of labour-led development, which showcases how collective action among marginalized groups—like South African shack-dwellers, East Asian and Indian industrial workers, and Latin American landless labourers—can foster human development. This enlightening read is essential for anyone interested in social justice, economic theory, and the dynamics of capitalist development.
With 208 pages of thought-provoking content published by John Wiley & Sons in 2017, this brand new book is a must-have for students, academics, and activists alike.

Description:
The world economy is expanding rapidly despite chronic economic crises. Yet the majority of the world's population live in poverty. Why are wealth and poverty two sides of the coin of capitalist development? What can be done to overcome this destructive dynamic?
In this hard-hitting analysis Benjamin Selwyn shows how capitalism generates widespread poverty, gender discrimination and environmental destruction. He debunks the World Bank's dollar-a-day methodology for calculating poverty, arguing that the proliferation of global supply chains is based on the labour of impoverished women workers and environmental ruin. Development theories “ from neoliberal to statist and Marxist “ are revealed as justifying and promoting labouring class exploitation despite their pro-poor rhetoric. Selwyn also offers an alternative in the form of labour-led development, which shows how collective actions by labouring classes “ whether South African shack-dwellers and miners, East Asian and Indian Industrial workers, or Latin American landless labourers and unemployed workers “ can and do generate new forms of human development. This labour-led struggle for development can empower even the poorest nations to overcome many of the obstacles that block their way to more prosperous and equitable lives.

Every bathroom needs these!
Style: Sprays + Candle
I received two small bottles of this last Christmas as a stocking stuffer from a friend. My husband and I used them and were quite impressed. I ordered three more bottles for each bathroom. I initially thought these were more of a "joke" for guests visiting but soon realized these are the real deal. My husband isn't much into these type of things and leaves them up to me but now he tells me when I need to order more. They make the bathroom smells so fresh and the scent lasts a long time covering up any unpleasant odors. I spray them regardless after I clean our bathrooms as they make my bathrooms feel so "clean" and they are a decent size. No leaking....just a simple couple of sprays and the bathrooms smells great. I love all of the products from this line and use them frequently. Nice seller too. Ships quickly and good packaging. These are definitely worth buying!

I bought this bc a friend of mine had the tiny bottle for her cat. It smells great. I have three inside dogs. This is a great spray to use for your home to smell fresh instantly. Also I like the candle too.

It works, but others work better
Style: Sprays + Candle
The product does help if you have dogs. It has a hint of a cinnamon smell to the product
Unfortunately I would say Febreeze product for pet smells works much better. I guess poo-pouring can’t have a winner every time with every smell.
