Document Summary
Colonialism and development in the south and north, 1500 1950. We live in a world where the top income is controlled by a few. In 2011 we live in a world of unparalleled contradictions: 2. 6 billion people living on less than usppp a day (2005) 11 million people with more than us million in non-property wealth, who could together end poverty and still be rich. The story of development is a very recent story: humanity has been on the planet for a miniscule part of its history. "civilization" is a miniscule part of humanity"s history. If so, i would suggest that the circumstances facing the former colonies of asia, africa and latin america must have been profoundly affected by the outward expansion of europe. * in south asia and east asia. World wealth (share of world gdp) in 1500. * per person, europe is the richest place.
