Moving far beyond the framework of a narrative account, the author demonstrates that interpretations of this crisis - and attempts to manage it - are themselves reflections of wider assumptions about the dynamics of development and the organization of the global economy. \u003cp\u003ePart I sets out to provide the 'standard narrative' of the debt crisis from the OPEC oil price rises onwards, ending with the most recent attempts at crisis management. After establishing, as much as is possible, the facts of the crisis, the author then provides in part II a demonstration of how this crisis might be interpreted from three quite different perspectives: a free market 'system stability' approach; a Keynesian 'system-correction' approach; and a Marxian 'system instability' approach. In a conclusion, the author considers how these competing perspectives on debt and development might be judged.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on wide teaching experience in the field, \u003ci\u003eDebt and Development\u003c\/i\u003e will be welcomed by students and teachers of geography, developmental studies, economics, international relations and political science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Tables. \u003cp\u003eList of Figures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Abbreviations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne: Introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Describing the Debt Crisis-A Standard Narrative Account:\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo: The Debt Crisis: a Standard Narrative Account.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
