Show detail Hide detail

This is the second of a series of six weekly programs. Barbara Ward gives a lecture about the following: how to define poor nations; the reasons why 80 percent of the population has a per capita income lower than $500; physical causes such as climate instability and scarceness of natural resources, economic revolutions and technological revolutions that have not yet reached the poorer nations; cultural and sociological reasons to account for the fact that certain pre-commercial and pre-industrial societies have remained static and have no development in the sense that we understand the term; systems such as the caste system in India that have kept societies largely unchanged; intellectual reasons why the scientific development in countries like China did not occur until very recently; and the lack of long-term capital accumulation as another reason for delayed development. In many of the poorer countries population is ahead of the means to satisfy it. The colonial system has been responsible for spreading western ideas and technology, but at the same time has introduced tremendous problems. An elite educated in western ideas of nationhood and equality was not backed by general changes in society. <30mn>
