Living Well at Others' Expense
Stephan Lessenich
© Polity
In this sociological work, Stephan Lessenich deals with the economically inter-dependent relationships of a globalised world. In the North-South conflict, 'external societies' have always lived at the expense of others. In the meantime the suffering of the so-called 'Third World' has also directly reached the 'First World', as can be seen, for example, in the migration patterns of many people caused by environmental destruction.
