Why are we poor? How is wealth distributed in the world between the North and the South? What is the role of the Industrial Revolution in the imbalance? In this new episode of the program In Civilization, we discuss dependency theory by analyzing the emergence of capitalism in the Global North, and why did this North achieve surpluses thanks to colonialism? How can capitalist development in the South take other forms? And what impact did all this have on the income of individuals in the Global South?
