Importantly he convincingly demonstrates how it was not always like this and shows how a more equal world could be constructed. Knowledge and Global Inequality provides a much neglected Southern perspective in Inequality Studies. It is likely to become a key text in this growing field of scholarship.'

A Southern lens interrogates this history, in the process showing how developing command over knowledge creation sheds light on the middle-income trap. Overall, it shows a new way of looking at global capitalist economic history, highlighting the creation of, command over and exclusion from knowledge. This forces us to analyse the role of the subjective or agential element in making history; a subjective element that, however, always works from within and transforms existing structures and processes.
