Documents social polarisation and impoverishment on a global scale and discusses the basis for adopting an alternative development model to the one pursued by the rich nations since the 1950s. Argues that needs across countries are becoming increasingly shared, and should therefore be defined and measured internationally and scientifically, not nationally or culturally. The growing problems of poverty, unemployment and social exclusion have not been properly explained and a better theory of social development and therefore an improved programme of action, is needed. Makes the case for an international welfare state as the only way forward given the current problems of the international market and the replacement of sovereignty and empire by international hierarchical power.
