DENT Martin

Poverty and debt in the third world: confronting a global crisis - Leamington Spa, UK: RISCT, 1998 - 24p. - Conflict Studies No. 310 .

Assesses the validity of the idea of debt remission and proposes a pratical programme of action for liberating the world's poor countries from the burden of unpayable debt. Suggests that a dramatic reduction of accumulated debts among the worst affected communities is essential to achieve social stability on which the wider world order may depend.
