Summary:This book brings to focus the causes which have led to the vast and widening economic disparities between the developing and the developed industrialized nations, and puts forward useful and appropriate solutions for bridging the gap. The need for reshaping the world order has been stressed. The author has fully discussed questions like the need for increasing the productivity of Third World Countries, improvement of the competitive position of the Third World's manufactured products on international marketing, the liberalization of international trade, the flow of real resources from developed countries and also from rich Third World Countries, the rational utilization of energy and development of new sources of non-conventional energy, etc
Besides other proposals he has also advocated the creation of an International Planning Board (IPB), in the countries, which could perhaps be under the United Nations but free of all red tape, and economic unions in each of the continents of Asia, Africa and Latin America to bring together all regional states with their manpower and rich natural resources for initiating an effective co-operation between them
